Denver International Airport and Frontier Airlines announced the opening of the airport’s latest ground boarding facility on Concourse A

The $220 million project began in 2022 and includes 37,000 square feet of concourse expansion and 83,000 square feet of remodeled and expanded space on Concourse A.

“Completing the Concourse A-East expansion project marks a major milestone in our effort to serve 100 million annual passengers within the next several years,” said DEN CEO Phil Washington. “I’m proud of everyone at DEN who ensured this project was completed on time and within budget, while maintaining a clear commitment to airport growth to meet our tremendous demand.”

Two parallel corridors provide access to six new gate waiting areas, nine remodeled gates and five new gates. Limited operations began in the north corridor in February 2024, and the entire area fully opened on Oct. 1, 2024.

“Conveniences for customers include DEN-provided charging stations, a nursing room, pet relief area, family restroom and companion care room. Dining and shopping options are also available. The facility is currently home to Snarf’s Sandwiches, Brothers BBQ, Breckenridge Brewery and a CNBC shop. An additional food and beverage concept is expected to open by mid-2025,” airport authorities said a news release.

“We are very excited about the expansion on Concourse A and look forward to providing a great experience for our customers, along with increased operational efficiencies, in conjunction with the new facility,” said Alex Clerc, senior vice president, customers for Frontier Airlines.

Office space and an adjacent 8,000 square foot airline maintenance facility and office space were included in the project.

Travelers can access Concourse A-East expansion by going down escalators near Gate A53. From there, travelers can access Gates A54 to A84 from either the north or south corridor.
