Denver International Airport Hits Seven Consecutive Months of Record-Setting Passenger Traffic

Home

DENVER – May 9, 2016 – Denver International Airport (DEN) had its busiest March in the airport’s history, with about 4.7 million passengers, and has now seen seven consecutive months of record-setting passenger traffic.

A total of 4,689,761 passengers traveled though DEN in March 2016, an increase of 3.4 percent over the 4,533,547 passengers in March 2015.

“Denver International Airport continues to see steady growth in passenger traffic, led in part by continued increases in seat capacity by the airlines and a nearly 5-percent jump in international travelers in March,” airport CEO Kim Day said. “As we head into the busy summer travel season, we expect to see even larger numbers of passengers as people flock to the Mile High City or use DEN as a gateway to destinations around the world for summer vacations.”

The airport also set an all-time monthly record for non-preclearance international flights (flights that depart from Denver or clear customs upon arrival in Denver), with 160,653 passengers. Overall international flights, which includes those that preclear customs in Canada, increased 4.9 percent compared with March 2015, with a total of 222,921 passengers. Lufthansa Airlines will add to the airport’s international offerings this spring with the launch of nonstop service from Denver to Munich, Germany on May 11.

On March 15, Virgin America began daily nonstop service to San Francisco; Boutique Air began round-trip service to Moab, Utah and Vernal, Utah; and Frontier Airlines added new nonstop service to Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C.

Mail, freight and express cargo operations saw 46,088,897 pounds of cargo in March 2016, a decrease of 1.1 percent compared to the same month in 2015.
