DEN — Stapleton International Airport, Denver
Denver's airport was Stapleton, close to the city, until 1995, when everything moved to a new site on 137 square kilometres of prairie — the largest airport in North America. Its white peaked roof echoes the Rocky Mountains behind it.

About Denver
Colorado's capital, on the high plains right where the Rocky Mountains begin. Energy, federal offices and skiing traffic combine with a location that makes it the natural connecting point for the mountain west.
Population about 2,543,482 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Denver is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
