DENVER – Dec. 6, 2017 – Passenger traffic at Denver International Airport set another record with the busiest October in Denver’s history.
A total of 5,282,947 passengers flew through DEN in October, 1.1 percent more than October 2016 and the highest number ever for passengers during that month.
“October was another record-setting month for Denver International Airport as the airlines continue to see higher load factors and our international traffic increased 10 percent compared to the same time last year,” airport CEO Kim Day said. “International passenger traffic increased in part due to the recent start of nonstop service from Denver to London-Gatwick via Norwegian. We look forward to continuing that momentum into the final months of 2017.”
Mail, freight and express cargo operations increased 5.7 percent in October, with 50,548,703 pounds, compared to 47,833,686 pounds of cargo in October 2016.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
