:world_map: 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 :open_mouth:
You learn something new every day ig

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.

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).
