Speaker Series: Commercial Aviation in Colorado
Join us at Exploration of Flight as we honor the first commercial passenger flight that took place on January 1, 1914! Steve Kelly will give a presentation covering the highlights of the historic development of air travel in Colorado over the past 85 years.
The commercial aviation industry in Colorado began its development in the 1920’s with the original Air Mail routes connecting cities in the state to the East/West transcontinental air corridor. The city of Denver saw a great opportunity in air transport and built Denver Municipal Airport in 1929. Although built shortly before the Great Depression, the airport was a success, so much so that 65 years later the city had become a major airline hub and a new airport had to be constructed. The new Denver International Airport exceeded expectations and is now ranked the third largest by passenger volume in the world.
