Centennial Vertiport, Centennial Airport (KAPA)

Centennial Vertiport, Inc. owns and runs the helicopter and VTOL facility at Centennial Airport in Colorado. The airport uses the code KAPA. It is about 15 miles southeast of Denver. The company says it is an established helicopter base, now under new ownership and open for business.

The base offers Jet A fuel on site. It also offers 100LL in limited quantities, so pilots should call ahead. Helicopter fueling is available. Line service runs 7 days a week and the company plans to expand to 24 hour operations. Fuel prices are not listed on the site. The company asks customers to call for current pricing.

Maintenance is done under an FAA Part 145 repair station. The work includes inspections, repairs, pre buy checks and fast AOG support. It covers rotorcraft, VTOL, electric and fixed wing aircraft. The company also offers heated hangar and office lease space on the field. Tenants include government, utility and private flight operations. Space is limited, so customers should ask about availability.

The company is working with H55 on electric aircraft maintenance. It says the aim is to set up the first authorized H55 maintenance capability in the United States. H55 powers the Bristell B23 Energic, an all electric trainer. Its sister company Centennial Flyers is bringing six of these trainers to Colorado. The company is also building charging infrastructure for electric aircraft and eVTOL aircraft. It plans pads, shelters and power for the eVTOL era.

AirCam Vertical is the helicopter operator based at the facility. It has flown Colorado's high country for decades. Its work includes aerial film and news, charter and utility flying. Centennial Vertiport says it is returning charter and utility flying to the field under AirCam's certificates.

Centennial Vertiport is part of a family of aviation businesses on the field. The others are Centennial Flyers, a large flying club, and Centennial Aero-Tech, an aircraft maintenance shop. The company says its goal is cleaner and quieter flight at Centennial Airport. It describes itself as a working facility with based aircraft today.
