Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (KASE/ASE): 95 ft max wingspan · 100,000 lb max weight · 11 PM–7 AM curfew · 7,820 ft elevation. Final dispatch performance is always calculated by the operating crew for the specific flight.
Aspen's single runway is hemmed in by mountainous terrain, so the airport caps wingspan at 95 feet and weight at 100,000 pounds rather than relying on runway length alone.
Aspen suits aircraft that meet its 95-foot wingspan and weight limits — see The Jet Finder's Aircraft Capability hub for specific aircraft.
