Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (IATA: BJC, ICAO: KBJC), formerly known as Jefferson County Airport, or Jeffco Airport, is an airport located in Broomfield, nine miles (14.5 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Denver, Colorado, USA. The airport is owned and operated by Jefferson County. It is situated between downtown Denver and Boulder on U.S. Highway 36. On October 10, 2006, it was announced that the airport will be renamed Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport to reflect the airport's increased prominence [1].

This airport is home to a large general aviation population including a fair amount of corporate traffic and several flight schools. The airport's proximity to the nearby Interlocken business district contributes to its business traveler clientele. It has a control tower on 118.6 (Local) and 121.7 (Ground) that is open from 0600 to 2200 local time. ATIS/AWOS broadcasts on 126.25. There are three runways - 11/29 Left and Right and 2/20. Two fixed base operators (FBOs) offer fuel and other services. A restaurant called the Runway Grill is on the field, along with a pilot's lounge in the Denver Air FBO and a passenger terminal lobby.
