Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Burrell Aviation have announced Burrell will construct multiple facilities on a 65-acre parcel at the Colorado Springs Airport (COS) to expand the airport’s non-passenger business lines, including facilities for air cargo handling, aircraft maintenance and testing, cold storage, warehouse/distribution, and integrated logistics.
The company issued a statement that said Burrell is looking to invest up to $110 million in private sector capital to modernize infrastructure and is expected to attract up to 1,700 new jobs for El Paso County. Burrell Aviation will be working closely with the airport and both state and local economic development groups to identify, attract and accommodate new interest in Colorado Springs Airport.

“The Colorado Springs Airport is an economic driver for our regional and state economies and this capital investment will make it even more competitive,” said Governor Polis. “New investment in modernized, sustainable facilities will serve to enhance the integrity of our regional supply chain which our population is reliant upon and help improve the environment in which we all live.”

Both companies will work on developing regional municipal airport projects to increase access to air cargo services while allowing smaller airports to expand their economic potential and grow in the local communities. This partnership brings experienced together to focus on innovation and provide the best solutions needed for the businesses and communities to benefit from these plans.
“The U.S. airport system is in dire need of new investment and focused attention on non-passenger infrastructure,” said the CEO of Burrell Aviation, John Carver. Burrell Aviation, LLC is a capital investor in next-generation supply chain infrastructure.
