Denver International Airport

Denver International Airport, sometimes referred to as DIA locally, is an international airport located in the Western United States. It serves the Front Range Urban Corridor and the Denver metropolitan area. With a land area of 33,531 acres, it is the second biggest airport on Earth and the largest in the Western Hemisphere, behind King Fahd International Airport. At sixteen thousand feet, Runway 16R/34L is the longest runway open to the public in North America and the sixth longest worldwide. The airport is actually closer to the City of Aurora than it is to central Denver, and many airport-related services, like hotels, are located in Aurora. The airport is 25 miles northeast of Downtown Denver by car, and 19 miles farther than the former Stapleton International Airport, which DEN replaced.

Denver International Airport (DEN) has grown to be one of the busiest airports in the world since it opened on February 28, 1995. DEN became the third busiest airport in the globe during the global pandemic in 2022 with 69.3 million passengers passing through it. A 12.3% rise from the previous year, DEN welcomed a record-breaking 77.8 million passengers in 2023. DEN is the main economic engine of Colorado, contributing $36.4 billion to the state's GDP annually. Travelers are transported to another world by DEN's award-winning architecture and breathtaking vistas of the Rocky Mountains. Fentress Bradburn Architects created the iconic peaked roof of Jeppesen Terminal, which reflects snow-capped mountains and recalls the early days of Colorado history when Native American teepees were scattered over the Great Plains.

In 2023, DEN handled 4 million foreign travelers. 200+ nonstop destinations are served by DEN. There are 148 narrow-body contact gates in total, along with 21 apron-load spots for commuter and regional aircraft. There is 2.6 million square feet of space at the Jeppesen Terminal. The 34 poles supporting the approximately 240,000 square foot tent canopy are strong enough to cover more than four football fields. More lane miles of roads than the distance between Denver and the Utah border are found in DEN. There are more than 31,000 public parking spots at the airport. The second-biggest airport worldwide and the largest in North America is located at DEN. The opulent lounges provided by DEN's partners are perfect for working remotely or just unwinding with a bite and a drink before boarding.
