DIA CEO Kim Day said: "Denver International Airport continues to see record-setting growth in passenger traffic, driven by additional airline capacity in Denver and the continued strength of the city's economy. Additionally, US News & World Report earlier this week named Denver the best place to live in the United States. Given the strength of Denver's origin and destination traffic, we expect that news could bolster even more interest in travel to and from the Mile High City."
