Denver International Airport is to receive a $1.2 billion overhaul in the next seven years, reports The Denver Post.
Part of the makeover project for the sixth-busiest airport in the US will be a new Concourse C terminal, with room for up to 23 commuter planes.
The plans also include a new automated baggage delivery system, with around $98.5 million spent on updating equipment from the airport’s erstwhile baggage system.
Greg Holt, Denver International Airport’s Assistant Deputy Manager, confirmed that despite the cost, the extensive plans were not overly ambitious.
“We won’t be looking at new technologies,” he told The Denver Post. “We’ll be looking at things that are proven.”
Holt confirmed that initial spending would install the new system at a sixth of the airport’s ticket counters, with wholesale installation likely to cost around $300 billion, and occur in the next seven years.
The airport will also receive a new commuter rail station, a 1,700-space parking garage, and substantial improvements to the runways, taxiways, and indoor facilities, such as restrooms.
