Gate expansion complete for A-West, B-East at Denver International Airport
Denver International Airport wrapped up construction for the expansion of its A-West and B-East gates.
DIA says it increased the capacity of the gates for A-West by 30% with 12 new gates and outside waiting areas.
B-East is now equipped with 10 new gates, along with new waiting areas that have been updated with modern designs.
The construction came after DIA rolled out its Vision 100, which is a plan to welcome 100 million passengers to its airport.
