The gate expansion project adds 39 new gates, an increase in gate capacity of 30%
The new gates will be added on all three concourse A, B & C to allow all airlines an opportunity to grow. The airport will also be able to accommodate new airlines, including international carriers. The four gates on Concourse B West were the first to open by August 2020, with the rest of the gates opening 2021. When complete, all three concourses will feature amenities, including an opportunity for passengers to step outside at DIA’s post-security outdoor patios complete with a pet relief area, outdoor bars fire pits and heated concrete for snow melt and added comfort during the winter months.
