Passenger traffic set a new record last year at Denver International Airport, recovering to just above pre-pandemic levels as the expanding airport resumes a pattern of breakneck growth.
Nearly 69.3 million people took off, landed or connected on flights through DIA in 2022, which was 0.4% above the previous record of 69 million in 2019. Airport officials had projected a slightly higher total, but traffic was undercut in late December by mass cancellations caused by a sub-zero winter storm andNew projections finalized by a DIA consultant in January show that the airport’s major carriers are quickly making use ofthat have opened in recent years.
Regardless of the growth to come, city officials on Friday celebrated DIA’s quick recovery. It’s a far cry from 2020, when the pandemic sent passenger traffic down by an unprecedented 51%, to 33.7 million. Last year’s traffic was up 17.8% over 2021, when DIA recorded 59 million passengers. The InterVistas report, obtained by The Denver Post last week, projects growth largely in line with its previous update, in August 2020.
For now, DIA’s pandemic recovery has been among the strongest in the world, largely thanks to heavy leisure traffic and its growth as a connecting base for multiple airlines.in terms of passenger traffic, according to Airports Council International. The airport was on track to continue that distinction as of October, the most recent month with worldwide data available, DIA says, behind No. 1 Atlanta and No. 2 Dallas-Fort Worth.
