Denver International Airport (DEN) operates within the airlines and aviation sector and is located in Denver, Colorado. Since opening in 1995, it has become one of the world's busiest airports, ranking 17th globally and fifth in the United States. The airport served nearly 53 million passengers in 2011 and functions as Colorado's primary economic engine, contributing more than $26 billion in annual economic impact. The DEN site spans about 53 square miles, making it the largest airport site in North America and larger than several major city boundaries; its six non-intersecting runways enable multiple simultaneous aircraft movements. The operation is supported by a sizeable local workforce.

In 2026, DEN announced infrastructure and leadership developments, including plans to connect concourses with pedestrian walkways and the retirement of Chief Executive Officer Phil Washington on August 1, 2026. The airport has also pursued community initiatives, such as partnering with Denver Public Schools to showcase student art, and has received recognition for its dining options, reflecting the breadth of its food and beverage offerings.
