1:25 PM Update...

The runway has been re-opened and SkyWest is working to get the aircraft in the air out of Denver ASAP. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we handled this incident.

IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTICE...

Due to an aircraft incident on our commercial service runway that occurred around 10:30 this morning, our afternoon arrival from Denver and departure back to Denver are delayed.

Please join us this afternoon at the Western Wyoming College to learn more about aviation's impact on Wyoming and our community. We hope to see you there!

Wyoming Aeronautics Division has wrapped up their 2026 Aviation Economic Impact Study and is taking the results on the road!

Last year, airports around the state contributed $3.8B to the state's economy. Right here at home, RKS contributes over $59 million each year. Airports drive jobs, support communities, and strengthen Wyoming. This is your opportunity to get a deeper look at your local airport's impacts.

✈️ What a difference a year makes!

One year ago today we welcomed the first passengers through our new commercial terminal at RKS, marking a historic milestone for air service in Southwest Wyoming. From day one, our goal has been to deliver a first-class travel experience that reflects the pride and spirit of our community.

Today, that vision continues to take flight.

Following years of planning and a major renovation and expansion, our new terminal offers more space, modern amenities and an upgraded experience for travelers. And more travelers are choosing RKS!

Thank you to our passengers, partners and community and here’s to continuing to connect Southwest Wyoming to what’s next!

This is exciting news from United Airlines — and it’s a great reminder of just how much connectivity is available right here at Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport (RKS).

From RKS, Denver is just one flight away. And from United’s Denver hub, the world opens up.

✈️ One stop through Denver puts hundreds of destinations within reach — including dozens of international destinations across Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.

🌎 And by connecting through Denver and continuing through one of United’s other hubs, travelers can reach more than 160 destinations worldwide across United’s global network.

In other words, RKS is much more than a flight to Denver.

RKS is Southwest Wyoming’s gateway to the world.

Whether you're traveling for business, visiting family, heading on vacation, or welcoming visitors to our region, that connectivity starts right here at home.

And that's why flying local matters.

👏 We appreciate United Airlines and SkyWest Airlines for connecting Southwest Wyoming to Denver and, through Denver, to the rest of the world.

Fly local. Fly RKS. 🌎✈️
