Centennial Airport
Centennial Airport (IATA: APA, ICAO: KAPA, FAA LID: APA) is a public use airport owned by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority in the Denver metropolitan area, 15 nmi (17 mi; 28 km) southeast of downtown Denver, Colorado, United States. Located primarily in Dove Valley, a census designated place (CDP) in Arapahoe County, the airport extends into Douglas County, with some of those portions in the Meridian CDP.
The airport opened on May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport, and was renamed on July 13, 1984. The new name reflects Colorado's admission to the Union as the 38th state in 1876, the centennial of the United States Declaration of Independence.
In 1985, a new control tower was built. It is an international airport with continuous U.S. Customs services and is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the United States with an average of 874 operations per day. The Federal Aviation Administration control tower provides air traffic control service 24/7. Runway 35R has an instrument landing system.
Centennial Airport covers 1,400 acres (567 ha) at an elevation of 5,885 feet (1,794 m). It has three asphalt runways: 17L/35R is 10,000 by 100 feet (3,048 x 30 m); 17R/35L is 7,001 by 77 feet (2,134 x 23 m); 10/28 is 4,800 by 75 feet (1,463 x 23 m). In 2018 the airport had 337,947 aircraft operations, averaging 925 per day: 89% general aviation, 10% air taxi, and 2% military. 840 aircraft were then based at this airport: 569 single-engine, 104 multi-engine, 147 jets, and 20 helicopters.
Key Lime Air has its corporate headquarters on the airport property. Air Methods did as well prior to moving to nearby Greenwood Village in 2017.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized the airport as a "reliever airport".
