Denver International Airport (DEN) this week officially opened its new commuter facility below the new gates on the east side of Concourse C.
The facility, completed as part of the airport’s Gate Expansion Program, is home to Boutique Air, Denver Air Connection and Southern Airways Express, commuter airlines providing service to small communities across the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain, providing passengers in those areas global access through 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 features comfortable seating with charging stations. In the future, passengers will also have access to eight new shopping and dining options set to open on the concourse level by 2023.
The commuter facility is in addition to the 39 new gates added through the Gate Expansion Program, increasing overall gate capacity at the airport by 30 percent.
