It is located sixteen miles northwest of the central business district of Denver,〔 and is the closest airport to downtown Denver.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Jeffco Commissioners to Rename Jeffco Airport as Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport )〕 The airport covers and has three runways.〔 Formerly known as Jefferson County Airport or Jeffco Airport, the airport was renamed Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport on October 10, 2006 〔 although it is sometimes referred to as Rocky Mountain Regional Airport, e.g. 2007-2012 county planning documents. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a ''reliever airport''.〔 〕 It is home to a large general aviation population including a fair amount of corporate traffic and several flight schools. The airport's proximity to the nearby Interlocken business district contributes to its business traveler clientele. It has a control tower on 118.6 (Local) and 121.7 (Ground) that is open from 0600 to 2200 local time. ATIS/AWOS broadcasts on 126.25. There are three runways - 12/30 Left and Right and 3/21. The runway numbers were changed in November 2014 to reflect a change in magnetic variation. Two fixed base operators (FBOs) offer fuel and other services. Two restaurants, Runway Grill and Blue Sky Bistro, are on the field, along with a pilot's lounge in the Denver Air FBO and a passenger terminal lobby. The Hilltop Inn, a bed & breakfast, and its companion restaurant, Wildflowers ("Authentic U.K. Fare"), is located on the property. On February 7, 2012 the Federal Aviation Administration dedicated a new $23.7 million, state-of-the-art airport traffic control tower, located south of the airport runways. The new facility includes a 124-foot-tall control tower topped by a 525-square-foot tower cab with four air traffic controller positions and one supervisor position. A 6,000 square-foot, single-story base building houses administrative offices, training rooms, and equipment rooms. The USDA Forest Service maintains its Jefferson County Tanker Base at the airport. == Facilities and aircraft == Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport covers an area of 1,700 acres (688 ha) at an elevation of 5,673 feet (1,729 m) above mean sea level.
