Denver International Airport DEN - also known as DIA Airport - is close to Interstate 70, and half an hour drive east of the City of Denver, Colorado, also known as the 'Mile-High City". The Airport was described as being like an apparition of snowy white peaks floating over the empty plains. Denver Airport, the highest airport in the United States, operates six runways (5 of them 12,000 feet each, and one 16,000 feet) and can accommodate any commercial aircraft now in service. Opened in 1995, this facility occupies 55 square miles and is one of the largest airports in the world, with plenty of room to grow. Indeed, the official funding for major expansions 2009 to 2013 was approved in 2008 and work has begun.
With over 50.1 million passengers a year, Denver Airport is presently being served by many major airlines with non-stops to over 100 national and international destinations, and connections to all points of the globe.

Denver Airport’s main terminal, the Jeppesen Terminal, shows a light and airy central atrium with a canopy ceiling of fiberglass fabric resembling peaks and valleys of nearby mountains. The Terminal splits into East and West Terminals and separates traffic into three levels: upper level for departures, mid level for ground transportation and lower level for passenger pick-up. Gates are arranged along three concourses A, B & C, connected to each other and the main terminal by a people-mover train. Concourse A, home to Denver-based Frontier Airlines, is also connected to the Airport’s main terminal by a unique walkway that provides great views of airplanes and the mountains in the distance.
