[编辑] Features
Rocky Mountains The airport's distinctive white tension fabric roof is designed to be reminiscent of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains in winter. It is also known for a pedestrian bridge connecting the terminal to Concourse A that allows travelers to view planes taxiing directly underneath. The airport is the home base of Frontier Airlines, the second-largest hub for United Airlines, as well as the primary hub for Ted, a subsidiary of United, and also the main hub of Great Lakes Airlines. DIA also has a growing Southwest Airlines operation, and was a hub for the now defunct Western Pacific Airlines. DIA has public Wi-Fi access available throughout the airport provided by AT&T/Cingular [3]. T-Mobile HotSpot service is available in the airport lounges run by United, American, and Delta airlines [4]. [编辑] GeographyThe airport is a distance of 25 miles (40 km) from Denver[5], which is 19 miles (31 km) farther away than Stapleton International Airport, the airport it replaced. The distant location was chosen to avoid noise impacts to developed areas, to accommodate a generous runway layout that would not be compromised by winter storms, and to allow for future expansion. The 54 square miles (34,524 acres or 140 km²) of land occupied by the airport actually has twice the land area of Manhattan. It is slightly larger than the City and County of San Francisco. It was transferred from Adams County to Denver after a 1989 vote, increasing the city's size by 50 percent. However, much of the city of Aurora is actually closer to the airport than the developed portions of Denver, and all freeway traffic accessing the airport from central Denver passes through Aurora.[编辑] 航廈/航點丹佛國際機場有三個航廈，分開間隔。 A航廈通過一座步行橋是容易接近的直接地從機場主樓，以及通過為全部三個廣場服務的地下火車系統。 為對B和C航廈的進入，乘客必須利用地下火車系統。 自從機場的設計沒有備用計劃對火車系統(例如，沒有地下步行隧道)火車無法的場合是困窘的對機場管理. 聯合航空 控制丹佛國際機場57%的航班. 一些非中文的文字因为尚未翻譯而被隐藏，歡迎參與翻譯。
The concourses and main terminal have a similar layout compared to Atlanta's airport, except that DEN has no "T" gates directly attached to the terminal. The airport charges relatively high landing fees to airlines in order to offset its construction costs as a direct result of the airport being built to support hub operations of United and Continental. Continental subsequently abandoned the hub shortly before their Bankruptcy in the 90's and prior to the Airport opening. While these fees had led to an effort to increase competition from Colorado Springs Airport, the failure of Western Pacific Airlines and Southwest Airlines's decision to operate out of DIA has left DIA as the only major national airport in the region. On December 14, 2006, The Denver Post reported that DIA is expanding Concourse C in the airport's "first major concourse expansion." At least eight new gates will be constructed at the east end of Concourse C estimated at a total of approximately $160 million. Construction on Concourse C is estimated to take 3 years and will allow primarily Southwest Airlines, but also other carriers, to increase flight schedules at one of the nation's fastest-growing airports. Denver International Airport's Concourse B also recently expanded with the addition of a regional jet terminal at the east side of Concourse B. This Regional Jet concourse consists of two smaller concourses or fingers which are connected to Concourse B via two bridges[6]. These gates allow direct jet bridge access to smaller Regional Jets. With the opening of the Regional Jet Concourse, United Airlines has left Concourse A entirely and now operates solely from Concourse B. The Airport has also announced plans to revise the Airport Master Plan to account for changing circumstances since the airport opened. According to the December 14,2006, Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News articles, plans are being drafted to extend the Main terminal to the South. This change would increase the number of ticketing counters and would also include a rail station for the terminus of the FasTracks commuter rail line from Denver's Union Station. Denver also stated that they have started discussions with Frontier Airlines over possibly building another Regional Jet terminal on Concourse A. Since Denver International Airport is privately funded from operations all construction would be financed by bonds. [编辑] Jeppesen Terminal
Denver International Airport's Jeppesen Terminal, named after aviation safety pioneer Elrey Jeppesen, is the land side of the airport. Road traffic accesses the airport directly off of Peña Blvd which in turn is fed by Interstate 70 and E-470. Two parking garages are directly attached to the terminal. The terminal is separated into west and east terminals for passenger drop off and pickup. The central area of the airport houses two security screening areas as well as a large fountain and exits from the underground train system. The north side of the Jeppensen Terminal contains a third security screening area and a segregated immigration and customs area. Passengers are routed first to the ticket gates for checking in. Since all gates at Denver are in the outlying concourses, Passengers must pass through any one of the three separate security screening areas for admittance into the secure air side of the airport. After leaving the main terminal via the train or pedestrian bridge, passengers can access 138 Gates on 3 separate Concourses (A, B, & C) [编辑] A大堂A大堂有37個豋机門 has 37 Gates: A24 - A61

at the concourse's west end Concourse B has 83個豋機門: B15 - B39, B41 - B99
[编辑] Concourse CNote: International Arrivals are handled in Concourse A. Concourse C has 22 Gates: C28 - C50
[编辑] Concourses D & EDenver International Airport has reserved room for two more Concourses to be built beyond Concourse C for future expandability. Concourse D can be built without having to move any existing structure. The underground train system, however, will have to be extended. Concourse E will require moving a Continental Airlines hangar. However, before construction on Concourses D & E begins, Concourses A, B, and C can be extended in both directions to contain 80 gates per concourse. This is evident from the fact that the gate number 40 was selected to be the median gate number at the middle of each concourse; theoretically, this allows for gates 1 through 40 to be located to the west, and gates 41 to 80 to be located to the east, of the passenger train system. 一些非中文的文字因为尚未翻譯而被隐藏，歡迎參與翻譯。
[编辑] Public transportationThe Regional Transportation District (RTD) operates five bus routes under the frequent airport express bus service called skyRide, as well as one Express bus route and one Limited bus route, between DIA and various locations throughout the Denver-Aurora and Boulder metropolitan areas. The skyRide services operate on comfortable coaches with ample space for luggage, while the Express and Limited bus routes operate on regular city transit buses and are mainly geared for use for airport employees.
skyRide services drop-off and pick-up from both the West and East side of the Jeppesen Terminal while the Express and Limited services drop-off only on the West side of the Terminal and pick-up only from the East side of the Terminal. By 2015, RTD plans to build a commuter rail line from downtown Denver's Union Station through Aurora to DIA, as part of the FasTracks expansion program. Scheduled bus service is also available to points such as Fort Collins, Colorado and van services stretch into Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado summer and ski resort areas. Amtrak offers a Fly-Rail plan for ticketing with United Airlines for trips into scenic areas in the Western U.S. via a Denver stopover.
