Additional DEN gates?

Looks like 24 additional gates being proposed Jan 8th. Think the original plan called for 11 additional gates. Great news if it passes!

From the DEN VP:
Expanding our gates from 66 to 90 gives us the opportunity to diversify the type of aircraft we can accommodate, which means more seats, more flights and more opportunities for us to connect Denver customers to the rest of the world. The incremental 24 gates, which will be utilized by United mainline and United Express, are a combination of existing and newly constructed gates as part of the Denver Airport’s $1.5B concourse expansion program (CEP). If approved, we would add 12 newly constructed and 11 existing, mainline capable gates not currently leased by United to concourse A. In concourse B, our main base of operations, we will add one more gate. In addition to the new gates, United will expand existing clubs and add new Clubs on Concourse A.

11 RJ gates are being converted to 7 mainline. That's a win.

F9 has been doing that for the last year or two in the east end of A where Great Lakes used to be, as well as overnighting some spares there. Not sure if that will be done on a small scale or more prevalent plan going forward for them. 23 gates would be a substantial presence in the A councourse for UAL!
