Denver International Airport (DEN) said this week that Steve Jaquith will become its chief operating officer (COO), responsible for managing the airport’s largest business unit including airport operations, maintenance, sustainability, parking and ground transportation.
Jaquith brings nearly 40 years of airline experience working in customer service and operations to his new role, most recently as vice president of airport operations for United Airlines where he had oversight of a $200 million annual budget and 4,000 employees.
Prior to that, Jaquith served as the managing director for United Airlines Denver Hub and Rocky Mountain Region. He also worked for Continental Airlines in a number of different positions.
“We are so pleased that Steve has decided to join DEN as our new COO,” said DEN CEO Kim Day. “Steve has been a DEN partner for years, and he brings significant aviation experience, enabling him to step right in and help us develop a path forward to a successful future.”
Jaquith begins his new role next week.
