Most locals refer to the Denver International Airport as simply "DIA." It is located about 25 miles northeast of downtown Denver, Colorado.
As far as land area is concerned DIA is the largest airport in the United States with 53 square miles or 34,000 acres.
DIA also has the longest public use airway in the country. Runway 16R/34L is 16,000 feet or 4,877 feet long. In 2014 DIA was ranked 5th busiest airport in the United States and 18th busiest in the world. The airport had 53 million passengers that year. In the country it is also known to have the third largest domestic connection network.
The airport provides nonstop flights to locations around North America, Latin America, Asia, and Europe. It is a main hub for Frontier Airlines as well as Great Lake Airlines. DIA is the fourth-largest and Central U.S. Hub for United Airlines and it is a major focus city for a Southwest Airlines.
Denver International Airport is operated by the City & County of Denver Department of Aviation. Readers in Business Traveler Magazine voted DIA as the best airport in North America for a few years in a row, from years 2005-2010. In 2002 Time Magazine also named the airport "America's Best Run Airport."
One of the most intriguing aspects of the DIA airport is its unique roof over the Jeppesen Terminal. Designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects, the peaked roof is made out of teflon-coated fiberglass. Colorado is well known for it's Rocky Mountains and this is what the peaks symbolize—snow capped mountains. They also bare a resemblance to many years ago when Native American tepees used to be seen on the Great Plains.
DIA puts a large emphasis on art. The airport has used a reserved portion of its operation and construction budgets for artwork. One of the most noteworthy pieces of art on the airport grounds is "Mustang" by El Paso born artist Luis Jiménez.
This early piece of artwork depicts a blue mustang with burning red eyes standing up on his hind legs, it can be seen when going to and from the airport. The head of the sculpture fell on Jiménez when he was working on it, killing him. "Mustang" has garnered mixed reviews.
While some people are struck by wonder when they behold the 32 foot sculpture others are revolted. In fact, it has garnered some rather villainous names, including the "Devil Horse" "Satan's Steed" and "Blucifer" due to its dark and lurid expression and pose.
If you are interesting in booking a flight at DIA or learning more go to their official website.
The Denver International Airport was erected to replace the Stapleton Airport which exists about 20 miles away from DIA. For three years during the 80s the Denver Regional Council of Governments looked for locations to build a new metro airport.
They looked at six different places from 1980-1983. construction of DIA began undergoing planning in 1989. Federico Fabian Peña, Denver Mayor at the time, was leader of the project. After a couple of years the project was handed over to Mayor Wellington Webb.
Initially the airport was scheduled to open October 29th, 1993, but it was bumped up another couple of years, finally serving as a replacement for the Stapleton Airport in 1995.
