Über uns Denver International Airport

Der Denver International Airport ist der größte Flughafen der Vereinigten Staaten nach Fläche und einer der verkehrsreichsten weltweit. Er liegt 40 Kilometer nordöstlich der Innenstadt von Denver, Colorado, und wurde 1995 als Ersatz für den ehemaligen Stapleton International Airport eröffnet. DEN fertigt über 69 Millionen Passagiere jährlich ab. Das markante zeltförmige Dach des Jeppesen-Terminals, das an die schneebedeckten Gipfel der Rocky Mountains erinnern soll, ist zu einem ikonischen architektonischen Wahrzeichen geworden. Der Flughafen ist Drehkreuz für United Airlines und Frontier Airlines. Die Züge der University of Colorado A Line verbinden den Flughafen in etwa 37 Minuten mit der Denver Union Station. DEN verfügt über sechs Start- und Landebahnen auf einer Fläche von über 135 Quadratkilometern.
