DIA Passenger Growth – Another Sign of Improving Economy

Denver International Airport had 52.8 million people pass through its gates in 2011. This represents a 1.7% increase over the 2010 total of 52.0 million passengers. It is also the fourth consecutive year for DIA to see more than 50 million travelers. These totals place DIA as the fifth busiest airport in the U.S. behind Atlanta, O’Hare,Los Angeles, and Dallas-Fort Worth.

While some carriers have decreased capacity, state and local officials continue to bring additional carriers to the area. Icelandair and Spirit will add flights to Denver in 2012.

This good news is another sign that the national and state economies are showing improvement.
