DENVER – June 7, 2022 – Today, Denver International Airport (DEN) officially opened its new commuter facility located below the new gates on the east side of Concourse C. The new facility was completed as part of the airport’s Gate Expansion Program and replaces the commuter facility located on Concourse A.

The commuter facility is located on the ramp level below gates C66 and C67. The facility is home to Boutique Air, Denver Air Connection and Southern Airways Express. All three commuter airlines provide service to small communities across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions giving passengers in these areas access to larger air service networks at airports such as DEN.

“The new commuter facility is part of our overall plan to accommodate airlines growth while improving the passenger experience,” said DEN CEO Phil Washington. “Our commuter passengers will have access to more amenities including the outdoor patio, new restrooms, nursing rooms and pet relief areas that were constructed as part of the new Concourse C gates.”

The new commuter facility consists of four gates for the three airlines as well as new comfortable seating with charging stations. In the future, passengers will also have access to eight new shopping and dining options that will open on the concourse level by 2023.

The new commuter facility is in addition to the 39 new gates added through the Gate Expansion Program, increasing gate capacity by 30%. The C-East expansion that includes the commuter facility is the second of four expansion areas to be completed with the remaining two areas on Concourses A-West and B-East opening this fall. 

Denver International Airport is the third-busiest airport in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $33 billion for the region annually.
