DEN Turns 30!

As the CEO of Denver International Airport, my vision is that we are the nation’s preeminent aviation thought leader. Innovative sustainability initiatives, high-impact infrastructure projects like concourse and terminal expansions, a forthcoming research and innovation center that also serves as an aviation workforce development catalyst, and the cutting-edge technology used to power our operations all demonstrate the ways in which DEN is shaping the future of travel and aviation.

Our big ideas have led us to become the 3rd busiest airport in North America and 6th busiest airport in the world. In 2024, more than 82 million passengers transited our airport, and we expect to see that number increase further in the years ahead. Vision 100 and Operation 2045, our strategic plans, are helping to guide us to grow thoughtfully, with an eye toward safety, sustainability, and resilience.

We are proud of the work we do here, and we believe it’s worth highlighting. Our media relations team would be delighted to facilitate your visit and assist you in gathering information. I invite you to reach out to us and let us know how we can help you in telling the story of DEN.

Warm regards,
Phillip A. Washington
CEO
