Denver International Airport: "The decrease in operating revenue resulted from lower non-airline revenue because of a 5.7% decline in passenger traffic for the first quarter. Fewer passengers meant that revenues from concessions, parking and car rentals were lower. Operating expenses during the quarter, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, went down 19.5% to USD63.3 million. That decline was attributed to a decrease in personnel costs related to snow overtime, as well as a decline in repair and maintenance project expenses. But costs for shuttle buses, janitorial services, and maintenance supplies and materials rose during the quarter," Stan Koniz, Deputy Manager Aviation/Finance and Administration.
