Denver International Airport (DIA)

Denver airport workersl initially missed a security breach by a 41-year-old man who scaled an 8-foot perimeter fence and crossed a runway where he was hit and killed by a plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board says it is gathering information about the evacuation of a Frontier Airlines plane after it hit a person on the runway at Denver International Airport during takeoff.

The airport said the person jumped a perimeter fence and isn’t believed to have been an airport employee.

House Bill 1012 was rejected Tuesday during its first hearing at the Colorado Capitol. It faced big opposition from the business community.

Many business groups are already lobbying against the measures. Gov. Jared Polis, as well as more moderate Democrats at the Capitol, could pose a roadblock to the bills becoming law, too.

Traveling during the holidays can be a stressful experience. And it’s not just the crowds – research shows the noise of a busy airport like DIA can add to travelers’ anxiety levels. Which is why Denver airport officials have launched an effort to turn down the noise.

Denver airport expects today's electrical demand of 45 megawatts to expand to 300 to 400 megawatts in the next two decades.

Passengers may not feel the sting, but workers will.

Airlines will likely keep their major routes but cut regional flights.

Denver is now the top airport for the number of nonstop destinations within the U.S.
