DIA CONTINUES SETTING PASSENGER
RECORDS WITH 3,827,830 TRAVELERS IN APRIL

April total surges 17.5 percent above same month last year
Passenger traffic at Denver International Airport continued to shatter records in April, when 3,827,830 travelers were recorded. The 17.5 percent increase over the same month of 2005 made it the busiest April ever in the Denver aviation system.
The increase of 570,901 passengers over the same month of last year made April the 12th straight month in which DIA set a monthly traffic record.
For the first four months of 2006, passenger traffic at DIA totaled 14,887,971. That was 1,528,479 passengers more than the 13,359,492 travelers who used the airport during the same period last year, an increase of 11.4 percent.
“April historically is not an exceptionally busy travel month in Denver,” Manager of Aviation Turner West said. “For the airlines to report these large numbers in April supports our belief that the summer months will be an extremely busy period for us.”
Flight operations rose 7.1 percent in April to 47,683. Through the first four months of the year, DIA reported a total of 191,360 flight operations, up 6.2 percent over the same period of 2005.

RECORD PASSENGER TRAFFIC AT DIA IN 2005
SPURS RECORD OPERATING REVENUES OF $495 MILLION

Denver International Airport’s record 43.3 million passengers in 2005 resulted in record operating revenues of $494.5 million for the year, according to an audited financial report released Monday. That was $16.8 million, or 3.5 percent, higher than in 2004.
The report attributed the increase to higher income from concessions, parking and car rentals, all resulting from the 2.6 percent increase in passenger traffic last year. Operating expenses – personnel costs, electricity and natural gas, fuel, and repair and maintenance costs – rose to $231 million in 2005, an increase of $9.9 million, or 4.5 percent, compared with the previous year.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization was a record $263.362 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 2.7 percent, over 2004.
At the same time, the rising number of passengers – coupled with flat debt-service payments and operating the airport within budget –caused DIA’s cost per enplaned passenger to go down for the fifth straight year. The average cost per enplaned passenger for all airlines in 2005 was $12.90, compared with $15.28 in 2001.
“We are continually working to keep our costs as low as possible while maintaining a safe and secure airport,” Aviation Manager Turner West said. “Keeping our costs down benefits our tenant airlines and, as a result of more choice and increased competition, the traveling public.”
The airport shares the net revenue with its tenant airlines, and the airlines receive 75 percent of net revenue up to a maximum $40 million a year. In 2005, the net revenue available for sharing was the highest ever, $79.06 million. DIA’s share was $39.06 million.
DIA’s net assets declined from $684.8 million in 2004 to $640.2 million last year, largely because of the write-off of portions of the automated baggage system and normal annual depreciation.
Rents paid by airport tenants in 2005 totaled $203.80 million, and parking was the next largest segment of operating revenues, bringing in $97.919 million. Landing fees accounted for $94.695 million, followed by car rental revenues, $37.175 million; concessions revenues, $32.566 million; aviation fuel tax, $16.995 million, and other sales and charges, $11.341 million.
The increase in parking revenue was due not only to the higher number of passengers, but also to increases in certain parking rates, which took effect June 15, 2005. Concessions revenues rose because of the passenger increase and a higher per-passenger spend rate –$8.32 in 2005 compared with $7.86 in 2004.
The entire financial report is available on DIA’s website, www.flydenver.com.

DIA ANNOUNCES GATE-REALIGNMENT AGREEMENT
TO MEET NEEDS OF AIRPORT’S TWO BUSIEST AIRLINES

Realignment should increase competition and benefit travelers

Denver International Airport Tuesday announced an agreement with United and Frontier airlines that will meet the carriers’ capacity needs in the near term and allow both companies to increase choices for the flying public. Frontier and United, together with their express carriers, handle more than 77 percent of DIA’s passengers.

United Airlines will, during the next nine to 12 months, transition off of the six Concourse A gates that it currently leases for its low-fare Ted operation. The Ted flights will be moved to five Concourse B gates, where United is installing dual loading bridges to speed up loading and unloading of passengers.

Frontier Airlines, which now leases 16 gates on Concourse A, will lease all of the newly available A gates, allowing it to maximize its current flight schedule and providing Frontier with opportunities to offer more destinations and frequencies from its Denver hub.

In return for receiving the six Concourse A gates from United, DIA will build a $41.5 million regional jet (RJ) facility on the east end of Concourse B. It will be a scaled-down version of the RJ facility that DIA and United originally proposed to build in 2003. In addition, DIA will pay off the remaining $110 million debt on the automated baggage system equipment, which United stopped using last year. United’s costs will decrease as a result.

“This is a win-win situation for the airport and for both airlines,� said Turner West, manager of aviation at DIA. “United gets the facility it needs to increase its regional jet flights to Denver, Frontier gets the gates it needs to accommodate its growing passenger load and aircraft fleet, and DIA gets maximum operational flexibility.�

Under the agreement, United will give up one Concourse A gate on July 1. A second gate will be surrendered when the dual loading bridge project is completed, around the middle of November. The remaining four Concourse A gates will be turned back to DIA when the RJ facility is completed, expected to be in about nine months.

After the realignment, Frontier will be operating at increased capacity on Concourse A and United will have consolidated all of its operations on Concourse B. The airport won’t have to spend an estimated $116 million to build additional gates to meet Frontier’s needs, and DIA will be relieved of an obligation to mitigate more than $55 million in costs for construction of the RJ facility and a previously proposed Concourse A west expansion.

“We are pleased to be able to improve the experience for our customers in Denver by enabling them to connect to hundreds of United destinations all from the same concourse,� said Ajay Singh, United vice president – corporate real estate. “By optimizing our resources, we expect to be adding roughly 125 daily flights system wide.�

“We greatly acknowledge and appreciate the hard work and diligence of John Huggins, director of economic development, Turner West, and the rest of his DIA team, in making this happen,� said Frontier CEO Jeff Potter.

“Consumers will have more choice because Frontier and United will be offering more flights, and United’s passengers will not have to move between Concourses A and B,� West said. “And the airport maximizes flexibility by using existing gates more efficiently instead of having to build new ones. We continue to work to keep our costs as low as possible.�
