Telluride Regional Airport is a public airport six miles west of Telluride town on Dove Creek Mesa at 9070ft, in San Miguel County, Colorado, United States. It was opened in 1984 and is the highest commercial airport in the United States. Telluride Airport (KTEX) has commercial flights to Denver(KDEN) using the 30 seat Dornier 328JET operated by 'Denver Air Connection' and started in 2019.
Telluride is both a popular winter Ski destination and a summer festival/hiking vacation for tourists. In addition to the Denver airlink, KTEX is a popular destination by many private pilots flying aircraft up to Gulfstream  size. Its also used as a stop over airport crossing the continent.

Telluride is a challenging airport to land your aircraft. At 9070ft you need more speed  and landing distance. In addition there is 1000ft drop into the San Miguel River Valley below. Runway 9 has step 3.55' glidepath, Runway 27 has an even stepper 4.0' glidepath due to terrain east of the runway. There is not enough terrain separation for large jets to safely circle to land on  runway 27, therefore large Jets must land runway 9 often with a tailwind. Smaller Jet may land on runway 27 at pilots discretion.

Our scenery is made with HD photographic images that uses PBR materials. With high detail models researched and based on the real airport, including both large and small details to enhance your flight SIM experience. With the advantages of the MSFS engine, we can now bring you sloping runways and enhanced lighting effects not previously possible with other simulators. In addition to airport scenery, we also include general aviation static aircraft scenery to complement and enhance the airport, but will not affect or clash with AI traffic. The scenery is based on the airport as it was in 2021, and is optimized for the new MS flight sim.
