Community Matters | Airport Master Plan
An airport master plan provides a road map for efficiently meeting aviation demand
through the foreseeable future while preserving the flexibility necessary to
respond to changing industry conditions. DIA’s current Master Plan
was developed in 1988 and provided guidance for the airport through 50 million
annual passengers. With that threshold now reached, DIA management is now
in the process of updating the Master Plan. The new plan will provide development
guidelines through 2030.

The goal of a master plan is to provide the framework needed to guide future
airport development that will allow the airport to keep pace with aviation growth and demand cost effectively, while also considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Master
Plans also provide the airport with the tools to react to uncertainties by
examining key trends in the aviation industry, such as changing airline business
models, improvements in technology, and local/regional economics that could
affect airport activity.
An Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is a scaled drawing depicting existing and proposed
future facilities and property necessary to the operation and development of
the airport. An ALP is a requirement of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), and the ALP must be approved before development can begin. Development
depicted on the ALP in blue/green indicates future planed on-airport development.
The ALP will be updated to reflect the results of the Master Plan.

Developing a Master Plan for DIA is a three-year process. The timeline
below summarizes the major components of the process, which initially began
in the spring of 2007. Much of the work to
date has included data collection and analysis, laying the foundation for the
development of alternatives that is now underway.
