Southwest Airlines has been gearing up to expand in a big way at Denver International Airport — and now it’s got more than a dozen new gates to pull it off.
several concourse expansions underway
Southwest’s 40 total gates will allow for significant new capacity in coming years, building on DIA’s status as the airline’s largest base. Its schedule out of Denver is set to increase from nearly 230 daily departures now to 250 during the summer and 274 by October, spokesman Dan Landson said, but there’s substantial potential beyond that.
Airport CEO Phil Washington said Southwest, DIA’s second-largest carrier, is aiming to hit 400 daily departures eventually — a level that still would trail United Airlines. That growth likely portends a big increase in Southwest connecting traffic, which now accounts for about 30% of its passengers through DIA.
