KEGE, sevicing the township of Eagle Colorado...population 3032 and Gypsum, Colorado...population 3654...claim to fame? feeder airport for the nearby Vale ski resort...

9000ft runway at 6548ft AGL

Lessee what else we can find?

WOW 2 scheduled flights a day to and connecting from Denver with Skywest.
CRJ900s(76pax) and CRJ700s(70pax and a 3 class 66pax) and CRJ200(50 pax) And AA put a 757 in daily to DFW

Looks like those numbers are heavily inflated for the ski season. In fact numbers for KEGE are

83 flights per day on average
42% transient GA
21% air taxi
17% military (helicopter training)
12% local GA
9% commercial...thats about 8 flights a day on average.

430686 passengers on 2726 commercial flights of which 1095 are the regular services, wow 157 pax per flight...every flight...figures are looking a bit rubbery there, mjbow2. Methinks you will find the majority of pax come in on their own aircraft. 12723 flights every year. GA...

Now what do we know about GA in the US...they much prefer to stay away from controlled airspace...according to the zealots...so for GA class E is a damn fine deal pardner

EDIT- AA appears to connect through DEN using a CR7 with UA so may even be less flights.
