Equally owned by Fort Collins and Loveland but operated under Loveland, we're located just north of Denver, our area is known for its thriving craft beer industry, eclectic arts and entertainment scene and mix of outdoor recreational activities. With 300 days of sunshine, snow-capped mountains, idyllic lakes and clear-running rivers, it’s captivating year-round. Northern Colorado Regional Airport
(FNL) is the nearest airport to Estes Park, base camp to the nationally acclaimed and breathtaking Rocky Mountain National Park which is home to wildlife including elk and bears, and miles of trails. Fort Collins is also home to Colorado State University, one of the nation’s top universities and Loveland is known as the nation’s Sweetheart City with the largest love lock sculpture of its kind in the U.S. Both have award-winning historic downtown areas within 20 minutes of the airport, offering live music, delectable restaurants and a variety of tourist, retail, novelty and confectionary shops. Drive times from our Airport to ski resorts like Vail, Copper Mountain, Winter Park, and Eldora Mountain are similar if not faster than what you would experience from Denver International Airport. Our mission is to provide a safe and efficient air transportation facility for use by the aviation community and general public; to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety standards; and to implement a plan for airport development that will continue to meet the need of our communities.
