DENVER — June 3, 2014 — Denver International Airport (DIA) set a record for the busiest April in its 19-year history, as overall passenger traffic and international passenger traffic continued to climb in 2014. Overall passenger traffic at DIA increased in April by 3.2 percent, with 4,161,815 passengers using the airport in April 2014 compared to 4,031,540 passengers in April 2013. Through the end of April, DIA has seen 16,542,752 passengers so far this year, an increase of 2.1 percent over the 16,209,851 passengers during the same timeframe last year.
The number of passengers traveling on international flights increased by 24 percent from 155,510 travelers in April 2013, to 192,870 travelers in April 2014. International passenger counts have continued to show steady growth at DIA as overall international traffic increased 23 percent through the first four months of 2014 compared to the same timeframe in 2013.
“In April 2014, all three of our largest partners, United, Southwest and Frontier, showed an increase in connecting passengers and high load factors, and the Easter holiday falling in April contributed to recordsetting April traffic,” said Kim Day, Chief Executive Officer of Denver International Airport. “International passenger traffic continued to trend strongly, up 24 percent from the same month last year. In April 2014, United’s international traffic increased by 27 percent, Southwest’s increased by nearly 47 percent and Frontier’s increased by 21 percent compared to April 2013. We are on track for a very strong year at Denver International Airport with our peak summer season just around the corner.”
