Badging

In order to obtain a badge at GJT, you must have a business or operational need

The Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority partners with AIRBADGE for all Airport Security Badge Access.  

To Understand AIRBADGE more, please click here.


To begin the badging process, you must be INVITED by your Company (Signatory) OR by the Airport.  Please follow the instructions and links below to get you started.


If you work for a company at the airport, you will need to request an invitation from the Signatory at your company.  Once you receive the invitation, follow the steps through AIRBADGE to complete the application.


If you are a General Aviation Tenant or do not have a Signatory, please fill out this form  and the Airport will send you an invitation in 1-3 business days to complete your badge.


Here are the types of Badges the Authority issues to badge holders:
-SIDA (Security Identification Display Area) Badges are for those working or operating within the airport terminal, on the commercial service ramp, and/or on the cargo ramps
-AOA (Air Operations Area) Badges are for the general aviation operators that do not need to operate within the SIDA, but still operate within the perimeter fence of the airport
-Sterile Badges are for entities working within the sterile area of the airport terminal behind the TSA security checkpoint


During the Application Process, you will be required to submit Valid Identification (must provide valid Driver's license in addition to the acceptable forms on this list for any driving/equipment operations within airport fence)


ALL NEW BADGES REQUIRE THAT COMPLETED APPLICATIONS AND VALID ID BE SUBMITTED TO AIRBADGE AND ACCEPTED BY THE TSA SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT (STA) SYSTEM PRIOR TO RECIEVING BADGE TRAINING. THIS CAN TAKE UP TO 1 to 2 WEEKS! PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!


SIDA and Sterile badges also require fingerprinting that must be conducted with the STA prior to receiving badge training


 The badging office is operated by appointment only and cannot accept walk-ins. 
 

What Our Flyers Say

I have flown out of LAX, PDX and Ohare. I have flown out of Mesa AZ, Montrose. But the Walker field is the bomb, Ooops. Can't say bomb. I love this airport for its convenience and hometown feel. The staff here are a friendly bunch, Unlike larger airports where everybody is grumpy, mean and nasty.
