Aspen-Pitkin County (ASE) caps wingspan at 95 feet. The Gulfstream G650 (99.6 ft) and Bombardier Global 7500 (104 ft) exceed it and cannot land at ASE regardless of runway performance — they divert to Eagle County / Vail (EGE). Super-midsize and smaller jets (Challenger 350 at 68.9 ft, Falcon 2000 at 63.4 ft, and below) clear the limit comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aspen-Pitkin County (KASE) restricts aircraft to a maximum 95-foot wingspan (and 100,000 lb), set by the terrain-constrained single runway rather than runway length.
The G650 and Global 7500 use Eagle County / Vail (EGE), whose 9,000-foot runway has no wingspan cap, about an hour from Aspen by road.
