Were these figures compiled by Denver airport authority or their lobbyists, I wonder.
Their source citation is "Denver Marketing". Curious they didn't use DoT data or link their reports.
It was on the internet so it must be true.
I tried to sift through the DoT data before posting that link/quote. In spite of spending half an hour or so, I wasn't able to find where DoT hides those numbers. YMMV. If you can find a current list of top O&D cities in the US, please post it.
I've seen other (older) posts on different websites where DEN was near the top of the list for O&D. Others at/near the top were NYC, LAX, LAS, MCO.
Denver has a lot of regional headquarters for Federal agencies so I could see where it generates a lot of O&D traffic, not to mention O&D from all of the skiers in the winter.
