DIA CEO Kim Day said: "Denver International Airport has entered the busy summer travel season with eight consecutive months of record-setting passenger traffic, led by increases in airline seat capacity and a continued strong demand for travel to and from Denver. We also continue to see carriers add new destinations. In April, United Airlines' began nonstop service to Richmond, Va., a previously unserved destination from DEN, as well as new service to Hartford, Conn - with other carriers adding even more destinations later this month."
