Laramie Regional Airport (LAR)

Laramie Regional Airport (LAR), identified by its ICAO code KLAR, is a modern aviation facility situated at an elevation of over 7,200 feet in Albany County, Wyoming. The airport operates from a state-of-the-art 16,000-square-foot passenger terminal completed in 2021, which features a spacious lounge with panoramic views of the Snowy Range Mountains. In early 2025, the facility introduced a next-generation Regional Boarding Ramp (RBR®), a fully enclosed and climate-controlled corridor that allows passengers to board United Express regional jets without exposure to Wyoming's harsh high-altitude winter conditions. The terminal building provides essential amenities designed for both efficiency and comfort, including modernized TSA screening lanes and expanded passenger holding areas. Due to its compact single-terminal design, check-in and security processing are exceptionally rapid, typically allowing travelers to arrive just one hour before departure. Inside, passengers can access basic refreshment services and comfortable resting zones, while regional carrier SkyWest Airlines provides daily rotations to Denver International Airport (DEN), linking the University of Wyoming community to global airline networks. Infrastructure at Laramie is entering a major expansion phase for the 2025–2026 period, which includes a $9 million apron reconstruction and a 2,800-square-foot expansion of the Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) building to house modernized maintenance vehicles. The facility features a primary 8,502-foot runway (03/21) capable of handling mid-sized jet aircraft, supported by recently upgraded airfield lighting systems. Ground transportation is well-supported by on-site car rental desks and free public parking situated directly in front of the terminal, providing a seamless 10-minute connection to the Laramie city center.
