Pre-Purchase Tickets

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.
