Denver International Airport has celebrated the opening of the West Security Checkpoint, the first of two new state-of-the-art security checkpoints on Level 6 (passenger check-in) as part of a $2.1 billion Great Hall Program.
Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington commented: “This new checkpoint, which is operating on schedule and under budget, is equipped with 17 screening lanes. These have advanced technology creating a more efficient process and an overall better experience for our passengers.”
“This checkpoint upgrade means the travel time for people coming through security will be faster, more efficient, and incredibly safe,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. Another similar checkpoint (with an additional 17 lanes) is expected to open on the east side of the terminal next year to help support Denver airport’s increasing international capacity.
The entire Great Hall Program will be completed in 2027, with segments opening incrementally along the way.
