Situated in the far northeast quadrant of the Denver metropolitan area, DIA is one of the largest hubs in the nation. It is five times larger than the previous Denver airport, Stapleton International. Dramatic changes have been evident at DIA with new concourses, better traffic control and people management.
Regional airlines have new facilities, making transfers to the mountain ski resorts convenient.
The airport contains nine flight schools, including Wings of Denver, Aspen Air Flight Club and Denver Helicopter. Hangars are available for rent and all services necessary for small and corporate aircraft are on location. There is a 120-room Holiday Inn with a restaurant on site. The airport operates 24 hours a day. RTD serves Highlands Ranch, Franktown and Parker, with express and other routes to the Denver Tech Center and downtown Denver.
