The FINANCIAL — August was the second-busiest month in Denver aviation history, and the 24th consecutive month of record year-over-year passenger traffic increases at Denver International Airport (DEN).
A total of 5,727,326 passengers flew through DEN in August, 6.1 percent more than the 5,395,910 passengers in August 2016. International passenger traffic also increased 15 percent compared to last August, with 223,459 international passengers, according to Denver International Airport.

At the end of August, DEN had scheduled service to 180 nonstop destinations around the world.”
