[2] The airline flew from Denver's Stapleton International Airport to a variety of destinations in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.

[6] On February 3, 1978, Rocky Mountain Airways took delivery as the worldwide launch customer of the larger, 50 passenger de Havilland Canada Dash 7-102 four engine turboprop.

This enabled Rocky Mountain Airways to serve destinations that otherwise would not have received scheduled passenger air service.

One example was the Avon STOLport (WHR) located in close proximity to the Vail ski resort which was served with the Dash 7.

Rocky Mountain Airways also operated Twin Otter flights from Lake County Airport (LXV) in Leadville, Colorado.

Currently, Aspen-Denver service is flown by SkyWest Airlines operating as United Express with Canadair CRJ-700 regional jets.

Upon its sale to Texas Air Corporation in 1986, Rocky Mountain Airways began serving as a Continental Express air carrier in order to provide passenger feed at the Continental Airlines hub operation at Denver Stapleton International Airport at the time.

The Twin Otters were later retired and new ATR-42 and Beechcraft 1900C turboprop commuter airliners were acquired which became the standard aircraft for all Continental Express regional air carriers at the time.
