It Depends
This is near the practical minimum, workable only because the terminal is tiny, but there's no slack if the inbound flight is late.

Tips for 30 min Connections
There is essentially no same-day connection product at AIA since it operates only a few flights per day on a single subsidized route, usually to Denver.
Passengers needing to reach another destination almost always connect at the far end (like Denver International) rather than at Alliance itself.
The terminal has minimal amenities, so bring food and entertainment if you have a long layover before an outbound flight.
Security screening is only active shortly before scheduled departures, so arrive according to posted flight times rather than assuming a checkpoint is always open.
Because flight frequency is so low, missing a connection built around AIA usually means waiting until the next day's flight.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
AIA has one small terminal building with a single gate area, so all passenger movement is on foot across a short lobby. There is no tram, shuttle, or secondary terminal, and no re-screening infrastructure since there is only one security checkpoint (when staffed at all).
