'''Montrose Regional Airport''' {{Airport codes|MTJ|KMTJ|MTJ}} is a non-towered public airport on the northwest side of [[Montrose, Colorado|Montrose]], in zip code 81401 in southwestern [[Colorado]]. Its two runways are at elevation 5,759 feet (1,755 m). MTJ covers 966 acres (391 ha) of land.<ref name="FAA" />

Monarch Airlines started flying to Montrose in the 1940s. Successor [[Frontier Airlines (1950-1986)]] flew to the present airport since the 1950s; the first jets were Frontier [[Boeing 737-200]]s in 1982 (runway 12/30 was then 8500 ft). Earlier, Frontier flew [[Convair 580]]s between Montrose and Denver.

An enhanced and expanded Montrose Regional Airport was dedicated on June 25, 1988, with [[Chuck Yeager]] cutting the ribbon.
The airport terminal was designed by local architect Patrik Davis "to greet visitors with small-town hospitality. A two-sided fireplace is the centerpiece of the passenger seating area, which has a tile floor patterned with the [[Ute people|Ute]] [[pictogram]] for travel and a high, skylighted ceiling of knotty pine. The walls are earthy, ground-face cinderblock, and natural-finished glue-laminated beams extend over wide walkways. The gable roof has skylights and dormers decorated with the [[Hopi]] good luck symbol."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sah-archipedia.org/buildings/CO-01-MO11 |title=Montrose Regional Airport |author=Thomas J. Noel |date=16 July 2018 |publisher=[[SAH Archipedia]] |accessdate=October 15, 2019}}</ref>

Its runway 17/35 (10,000 feet in length) was built during the 1990s.

The airport is most busy during its winter season, serving many skiers headed to [[Telluride Ski Resort]], an hour and a half away by road;<ref>Google maps reports 1 hour 31 minutes drive in good weather conditions.</ref> it is also busy serving summer tourism in the area. Outside the winter and summer seasons, the only major airline flights are [[United Express]] and [[Southwest Airlines]] flights to [[Denver]] and [[American Eagle (airline brand)|American Eagle]] flights to [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport|Dallas/Fort Worth]]. Direct flights to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco and Atlanta are offered in peak seasons, with the most flights on Saturdays.

Montrose Regional is the nearest airport with regularly scheduled mainline passenger jets to ski areas around [[Telluride, Colorado|Telluride]]. Some direct service to [[Telluride Regional Airport|Telluride's small airport]] is offered by [[Denver Air Connection]],<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 9, 2019 |title=First-ever commercial jet service coming to Telluride |url=https://www.9news.com/article/travel/first-ever-commercial-jet-service-coming-to-telluride/73-06521690-e323-4dc7-9530-5e715da983ed |access-date=2023-11-01 |website=KUSA.com |language=en-US}}</ref> with Montrose serving as the alternative, backup destination when weather would close the high-elevation Telluride airport.
