DENVER — March 3, 2015 — Minority- and women-owned concessions companies at Denver International Airport (DIA) earned more than $129 million in the 2014 fiscal year, setting a record for disadvantaged business revenue at DIA.
DIA participates in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Concessionaire Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) program, which provides opportunities for minority- and women-owned firms to participate in airport concessions by setting participation goals for every shop, restaurant and service provided at the airport since the federal program began in 2006.
In 2014, the Denver Office of Economic Development’s Division of Small Business Opportunity (DSBO) set DIA’s ACDBE aspirational participation goal at 33 percent of total concession revenue. The 52 certified ACDBE companies at DIA earned a total of $129,971,406 in FY2014 – accounting for a record 39.35 percent of gross concessions revenue.
“Denver International Airport is committed to inclusivity, and to providing significant growth opportunities for disadvantaged-, minority-, and women-owned firms in all airport business prospects,” said airport CEO Kim Day. “We are proud to have exceeded the FAA-approved ACDBE goals, as part of our initiative to increase diversity throughout the airport and our operations.” Denver International Airport ACDBE Annual Achievement by Year
