Denver, the Mile High City, and the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. The Denver International Airport has you flying into the second largest airport globally. Second only to King Fahd International Airport in Saudi Arabia and the fifth busiest in the United States. DIA opened in 1995 and has been a central travel hub since. At least 69 million people travel through Denver annually.
This airport is twice the size of Manhattan. Yet, contrary to its opening date, it has a rich history full of interesting facts, fascinating mysteries, myths, and conspiracy theories. Yes, I said conspiracy theories. The secretive construction of this monstrosity surely didn’t help to diffuse the chatter, either. In addition, the choice for the murals, sculptures, and other artwork at the airport only continues to help fuel this conspiracy. So, let’s take a look at what makes the Denver international Airport so fascinating.
The Denver International Airport is practically a city within itself. There is much interesting information you may want to know about Colorado’s iconic airport.
The DIA land covers 53 square miles or 34,000 acres, more extensive than Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, and Miami. Interestingly enough, the four airports that are busier than DIA could all fit together onto the DIA’s property.
The DIA’s monthly water bill is $115,000 on average.
To get from one of the three concourses to another, you have to travel by train. The same trains have been in use since 1995.
The DIA has a wildlife management program to keep the ground safe for planes to land. The airport primarily attracts birds, but some small mammals like jackrabbits can make their way onto the grounds attracting predatory birds.
