Denver International Airport, often simply called DIA, is the busiest airport in Colorado, used by people traveling from all over the state and beyond. It has one single but enormous terminal – the 1.5 million square feet that make up the Jeppesen Terminal is surely more than sufficient, as the Denver Airport can now accommodate an incredible 50 million passengers a year. The airport can also be proud of the fact that it is one of the world’s greenest airports, boasting the largest solar farm at a commercial airport in the US. Its collection of public art and art exhibitions also make for a surprisingly scenic terminal.
