“Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?”

Unique Features or Challenges
Of course because of airport’s size there is a lot of taxiways, big runways… There are also Weather Disruptuons (snowy winters, rain days…).
There I also found some plans that Denver airport could have 12 runways! (On construction map (pic.2) there are grey runways that exist and green that not yet).

DEN is the 6th largest airport in the world (by passenger count) and the 3rd largest in North America. In addition to more runways, there are firm plans to add 4 more concourses.

It is a unique airport from the main terminal design, where the teflon-coated fiberglass roof is designed to mimic the neighboring Rocky Mountains.

Additionally, there is some pretty cool art in the airport grounds including a 10m tall bright blue mustang with red eyes, affectionately known locally as “Blucifer”.

Didn’t know DEN got so many passengers annually
You learn something new every day ig

[Dreamliner]

Personally feel DEN is a good airport, interesting runway layout with good planning and architecture!

But the only thing I don’t know about its prospect is the layout is very similar to IAD… Hopefully we will have it at some point.

[Rocky-Mountain-Air]

I love the airport, in part because it is my home airport. But from a gameplay perspective, I imagine that the scale is such that it would be difficult to manage / enjoy on a mobile platform (iPhone, Android, etc).

[nomansland]

Yep, my home airport also… it might be a little too big for the game though

[candlestoltz]

I agree denver would be amazing in the game, im biased though because of it being my home airport but in order for this airport to be added in game, this would need to be a PC game because of its size.

[connorhv]

Even though I am a Minnesota guy, Denver is my 2nd favorite just due to the mountains and both the quantity and formatting/ positioning of their runways. Would really like to see DEN in game

Disclaimer : this is unofficial and made for fun.

[woa.17.wewak]

would be a good airport to seperate the distance between SAN,MSY, IAD

[Paco_20121]

I mean it sounds like a grate airport if we’re talking about distance, but I mean it look like a way bigger IAD

[nomansland]

DEN is roughly 2.5 times larger than IAD! IAD covers approximately 20.3 square miles, while DEN covers approximately 52.4 to 53 square miles

[Paco_20121]

Sorry I didn’t make my comment clear, I meant Denver terminals, gates, and directions of runways all look kinds of similar. My intention wasn’t to compared by size.

[Jonnie2604]

yeah agree. DEN would just be a bigger IAD pretty much. It does have a cool terminal design, but it sadly doesn’t really have any scenery as it’s too far away from the mountains. So while it does have a good location for a another future (hopefully not near future) US airport. It’s just too similar to what we already have. Rather have a Canadian airport like YYC, YEG or YWG or even a generic airport in that area of the US personally

[jlambert121]

I would love to see DEN, but it sounds like it would be a stretch for a bunch of devices as far as size and complexity goes.

[Hirohitoswaifu]

A stretch at current, terrifying for high end devices if the full plan was implemented lol.

[Thatflyerguy]

Denver is just not possible. HKG is pretty compact given the scale of the airport, and it is at the very edge of what is possible with the current tech. Here is a size comparison, same scale.

[Hirohitoswaifu]

It’s one of those things I feel isn’t understood by the community, not so much for Denver as it’s not really been mentioned, but especially for the Singapore and Dubai crowd, both are just too large for the current tech as you say. Old Dubai would be awful for everyone other than the die-hard Emirates fans, whereas future Dubai is so gigantic it’s verging on very silly and Singapore is too spread out, maybe previously but not now with the new expansions underway.

[nomansland]

DEN is spread out like IAD. It’s not like HKG jam packed so I actually think they would be equally heavy as HKG.

[Thatflyerguy]

yes but just rendering that is the problem. Same reason AMS is so difficult, because the Polderbaan causes troubles.
