Denver International Airport (DEN) has opened the Concourse A-East expansion area.
This is the airport’s latest gate expansion, providing a newly remodelled and expanded area of Concourse A.
The 220 million USD project, developed in partnership with Frontier Airlines, adds 120,000 square feet to the concourse. The work was completed on time and within budget.
The expanded facility includes six new gate waiting areas, nine remodelled gates, and five additional gates, bringing the total to 14 gates. Limited operations began in February 2024, with full use of the facility starting on 1 October 2024.
Additionally, the project includes office space and an 8,000-square-foot maintenance facility for Frontier Airlines.
Construction began in the summer of 2022 and involved 83,000 square feet of remodelled space and 37,000 square feet of new concourse area.
DEN CEO Phil Washington said:Completing the Concourse A-East expansion project marks a major milestone in our effort to serve 100 million annual passengers within the next several years. I’m proud of everyone at DEN who ensured this project was completed on time and within budget.
The expanded area offers a range of passenger amenities, including charging stations, a nursing room, pet relief area, family restroom, and a companion care room.
Dining and retail options include Snarf’s Sandwiches, Brothers BBQ, Breckenridge Brewery, and a CNBC shop, with another food and beverage outlet set to open by mid-2025.
