Boulder Municipal Airport could begin offering unleaded aviation fuel as early as late 2026, according to a newly submitted state‑mandated transition plan.
According to the Boulder Reporting Lab, five Colorado public airports were required to deliver plans by January 1, 2026, outlining how they will phase out leaded aviation fuel by 2030.
Boulder’s draft calls for an annual review to update the strategy as fuel technology and regulations evolve.

Officials expect those details to be finalized in the coming months.
