About DEN Vision 100 and Operation 2045

What are Vision 100 and Operation 2045?

Vision: To Emerge as the Nation’s Preeminent Aviation Thought Leader

Mission: Through the Power of our People, Be the Best in Class

Vision 100 and Operation 2045 are two phases of DEN’s strategic plan. Vision 100 is phase one and is focused on preparing the airport to serve 100 million annual passengers in the next several years. Operation 2045 is phase two and is focused on preparing the airport for its 50^th anniversary in 2045 and for an expected 120 million-plus annual passengers. Both phases combined serve as a blueprint to align decision-making and accountability.

Why are Vision 100 and Operation 2045 Important?

DEN is the economic engine for the region, generating $36.4 billion a year, employing more than 40,000 employees and supporting nearly 260,000 jobs. But the benefits of the airport extend well beyond that.

“DEN belongs to all of Colorado. As we increase our passenger numbers and global connections, this team will be working to create more economic, business, education and cultural opportunities. The opportunities are endless and together we can create a stronger more diverse community where everyone can thrive.”

– Phil Washington, DEN CEO
