DENVER ¬ Feb. 8, 2016 Denver International Airport (DEN) set an all-time
record for passenger traffic in 2015 with more than 54 million travelers
marking the second consecutive year of record-setting traffic in Denver.
A total of 54,014,502 passengers traveled though DEN in 2015, an increase of
1 percent over the 53,472,514 passengers in 2014 which was previously the
airports busiest year on record. December 2015 was also the busiest
December in DEN history, with 4,581,239 passengers, and was the fourth
consecutive month of record-setting passenger traffic. The airport saw a
total of five record-setting months in 2015: April, September, October,
November, and December.
Denver International Airport had a tremendous year in 2015, said airport
CEO Kim Day. We celebrated our 20th anniversary, opened the Westin Denver
International Airport and an amazing outdoor public plaza, and we saw demand
for air travel to and from Denver at historic levels. We are so thankful to
our passengers, airlines and business partners for an amazing year but we
arent done yet. We will continue to seek out new airlines and destinations,
elevate the passenger experience and continue our efforts to put Denver on
the world map.
In December, international passenger traffic increased 4.3 percent.
International flights that use the airports customs facility had strong
gains in 2015, with an increase of 16 percent, while Canadian preclearance
flights declined 22 percent due to an economic downturn within the oil
industry. That decline caused overall international traffic to be nearly
flat in 2015 with 2,192,613 international travelers, compared with 2,208,209
international passengers in 2014.
DEN served 181 destinations around the world during 2015. In 2016, the
airport will celebrate several new carriers and new nonstop destinations.

Francisco beginning March 15. On April 5, United Airlines will begin nonstop

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
