DenversAirport is the official channel for the international airport in Denver, Colorado. 
==History==
From 1980 to 1983, the Denver Regional Council of Governments investigated areas for a new area airport north and east of Denver. Meanwhile, in 1983, Federico Peña was elected mayor of Denver, campaigning on a plan to expand Stapleton onto Rocky Mountain Arsenal lands. The plan had broad support, but leaders in nearby Adams County threatened to sue over noise concerns. https://www.denverpost.com/2020/03/01/denver-airport-25-years-boondoggle-anniversary/ 
Eventually Peña struck a deal, Adams County leaders would rally citizens to back a plan for Denver to annex 54 square miles of the county to build an airport away from established neighborhoods. In 1988, Adams County voters approved the annexation. The proposal was met with some skepticism because of its location, but seeing the importance of a Denver air hub to the national transportation system, the federal government put $500 million toward the new airport. The rest of the cost would be financed by bonds, to be repaid with fees on airlines. Ground was broken in September 1989. https://www.denverpost.com/2013/06/07/adams-county-demands-denver-return-land-annexed-in-1988-for-dia/ 
Two years later, Mayor Wellington Webb inherited the megaproject, which at that time was scheduled to open on October 29, 1993. At the time United was refusing to move to the new airport over the high proposed fees. The airline finally relented under the condition that the airport included an automated baggage system. https://books.google.com/books/about/Final_Report_Metro_Airport_Study.html?id=U3g7wwEACAAJ 
Construction delays pushed opening day back, first to December 1993, then to March 1994. By September 1993, delays due to a millwright strike and other events meant opening day was pushed back again to May 1994. https://www.reduper.com/industry/traffic/airport/denver-international-airport/
