Eagle County Airport – terminal and gate map

Eagle County Airport welcomes passengers with a spacious and modern terminal building. Opened in 1996 and renovated in 2001, 2007, and 2019, EGE has a single concourse (Concourse A). Designed to accommodate the high demand during the winter season and expanded over time, the terminal incorporates elements of Colorado’s mountain architecture.

Five gates, four TSA security checkpoints, three baggage claim carousels, and a special system with ski/snowboard racks leading to the runway greet passengers. A small gift shop and snack bar are available before security. After security, there is a restaurant, café, bar, and “grab-and-go” buffets.
