Aspen airport shuts down for Michelle Obama | Page Six
February 14, 2014
First Lady Michelle Obama apparently halted private-jet traffic at Aspen airport as she landed for a weekend of skiing while President Obama headed to California.
Mrs. Obamas arrival amid tight security was expected to delay the arrival of other wealthy vacationers on private jets at the Colorado ski resort. One source said, Some of those heading into Aspen were whining that theyre shutting the airport for an hour so nobody can get in on their private jets on a high travel day. The weather in New York and in Aspen caused further delays.
Aspen airports director of aviation, Jim Elwood, declined to discuss Mrs. Obamas travel plans, but said, Typically when VIPs land, we do not close the airport, but hold other traffic for a few minutes. He added, This is one of our busiest weekends of the year and we expect several hundred planes today.
Mrs. Obama was spotted with her daughters at Aspens Buttermilk ski area over Presidents Day weekend in 2012 and 2013.
