From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Front Range Airport (IATA: FTG, ICAO: KFTG) is located on the northeastern edge of Aurora, Colorado, just outside of Denver International Airport airspace. It is a small general aviation airport, although increased demand has warranted a number of expansion programs in recent years.
Formerly, it was a non-towered airport without air traffic control (ATC) services, although a control tower opened in 2005 along with full ATC services. It has two runways. Currently, Front Range airport serves as the base of a few flying schools, flight clubs and maintenance services. Due to its location on the flat plains of eastern Colorado, as well as generally cheaper aircraft rental rates, it is a very popular airport for both flight training and recreational flights. The cargo airline Sundance Air is based at the airport. It is also popular among owners and pilots of kit-built aircraft, and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has a very strong presence at Front Range, which occasionally hosts the EAA Rocky Mountain Fly-In.
