US-based Denver International Airport (DIA) served approximately 4.5 million passengers in May, indicating an increase of 2.1% when compared with the same month last year.
The growth in passenger traffic was driven by the increase in origin and destination traffic for Southwest and Frontier Airlines and follows a record growth in passenger traffic during April.
