Denver International
🇺🇸 Denver · KDEN
United's Rocky Mountain hub and largest US airport by area, with six runways spread across 33,000 acres. The high elevation (5,430 ft) reduces aircraft performance, requiring longer takeoff rolls. Pilots contend with unpredictable mountain weather, including sudden snowstorms and strong crosswinds. The long taxi distances and iconic tent roof make DEN instantly recognizable.
