Atlantic Aviation RIL
ATL · RILRifle's primary FBO (Atlantic acquired Rifle Air in 2007). Heated hangars and around-the-clock service make it the valley's standing alternate when curfewed fields close.
Rifle runs 24/7 with no noise restrictions — the default overflow when Aspen or Eagle is curfewed or full, and Atlantic's alternate when Aspen closes for spring runway maintenance.
What we plan around at RIL.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
No curfew, 24/7.
Unlike Aspen, Eagle, and the resort fields, RIL has no noise restrictions and runs around the clock. It's the default overflow when other fields are curfewed or full, so catering windows aren't curfew-bound.
Aspen's spring-closure alternate.
When Aspen closes for runway maintenance in spring, Atlantic shifts Aspen operations here. We move the delivery point with it — no orders routed to a closed field.
Large-jet capable.
A 7,000-ft runway with ILS handles large-cabin tails at moderate elevation (5,537 ft). Far fewer restrictions than the mesa and valley fields nearby.
No US Customs.
International arrivals clear at a port of entry first (commonly Eagle/EGE or a Front Range field) and reposition in. We stage inbound catering to the clearance leg, not Rifle.
Central to the valley.
Airport-stated distances: Glenwood Springs 27 mi, Eagle 46 mi, Aspen 61 mi, Grand Junction 65 mi, Vail 88 mi. Useful when a principal is choosing where to land.
Around RIL.
Rifle flights are catered from our Western Slope network — the same kitchens that supply Aspen and Glenwood. Most RIL orders pair an always-open field with a specific restaurant request or a recurring private-chef spec.
Colorado ranch proteins.
Elk, bison, grass-fed beef and lamb from Western Slope ranches — center-of-plate for ski-season dinners and après spreads.

FAQ
It's open when others aren't — no curfew, 24/7, and the standing alternate when Aspen or Eagle is full or closed.
Yes — a 7,000-ft runway and ILS handle large-cabin tails at lower elevation than the resort fields.
Often Rifle. Atlantic runs Aspen's alternate operations here in spring, and we follow the delivery point so the order lands where the aircraft does.
No problem — RIL runs 24/7, so catering windows aren't curfew-bound the way they are at Aspen or Eagle.
