Analysis had shown that the future would see even further growth for the airport. Denver’s’ geographical position was not going to change it was far from other cities meaning air travel was greatly required and Stapleton was ranked 5th busiest airport in the country and growing. Inadequate infrastructure, runways and air traffic control were costing time and money for Denver and connected airports. The new plan would quadruple capacity and efficiency in a phased manner. The new airport would be a strategic driver in growth and development of the Denver economy and surrounding areas if executed well and more importantly planned with precision. From the case it is difficult to see that useful and sound strategic analysis was used, Exhibit I compares statistics from December and April in the same 12 month period so gives no real insight into trends comparing different seasons with different peaks one with a Christmas and April being before the summer season so the relativity is confusing. Exploration of the strategic competences and resources should have highlighted early the airlines’ views, concerns, requirements and issues and the resourced based strategy could have been ironed out at that point. This would or should have showed up issues
The Denver International Airport project consists of designing and constructing a new airport, based upon a

646). Both stakeholders have valid ideas but this contrasting battle pushed all decisions toward reactionary efforts. There is a need for a win-win situation for those decisions but no proper process was in place to balance the issue. The city of Denver also allowed United Airlines and Continental to make major scope changes to the project construction. The increase in scope changes meant increase cost, more work and more delays were on the way. This in turn, will hinder the project construction’s progress. At this point of major scope changes, the airlines still had no signed agreement.
The September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks forever changed the way our air travel industry operates. It affected the government, the airlines, airports, employees, and passengers alike. There was not as much of a threat of terrorism before 9/11, so airport security was not nearly as thorough, and at times intrusive as it is today. Through the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, the evolving threat of terrorism has not been successful in carrying out another 9/11 style attack.
The Denver International Airport is located in Denver, Colorado, approximately 25 miles from downtown Denver. This airport is one of the largest airports in the country. The Denver International Airport is not only famous due to its land area, but also for its several conspiracy theories.
Picture a place with murals portraying destruction and catastrophe, a system of an underground city, inexplicable construction and excavation, and runways formed in the shape of a swastika. This place is a place many people are in right now: The Denver International Airport. The Denver International Airport has many serious and questionable characteristics such as unexplainable symbols, images, and stories inside and outside of the airport which lead to the conclusion that the Denver International Airport is the headquarters for the New World Order.
Logic is important and can be applied to anything real in this world using evidence and reasoning. Without evidence and reasoning, people are unable to have valid thoughts or to make authentic claims. Conspiracy theories seem to lack adequate evidence and logical reasoning, which makes conspiracy theories invalid. There are many examples of this poor logic in the real world; an example of a conspiracy is the theory of the Denver Airports’ affiliations with all of the evil conspiracy groups and aliens.

No airport anywhere in the world is as technologically advanced as the Denver International Airport.1 It’s dramatic. If your bag [got] on the track, your bag [was] in pieces.2 In November 1989 ground was broken to build the Denver International Airport (DIA). Located 25 miles from downtown Denver, Colorado, it was the first major airport to be built in the United States since the opening of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport in 1974. In 1992, two years into construction, the project’s top managers recommended inclusion of an airport-wide integrated baggage-handling system that could dramatically improve
With the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the 1970s, the FAA recognized that the nation’s airports contributed significantly to the national economy and international commerce, as well as being a critical mode of transport for the public. Airports needed funding to improve safety and maintain airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS, and land acquisition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) formed the National Airport System Plan (NASP) to ensure these significant airports received Federal grants to make these improvements. The FAA revised the NASP with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 and called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) to reflect the further expansion.
In the early 1980’s, Denver experienced significant economic growth due to the booming oil, real estate, and tourism industries. The major airport that operated within Denver during that time was the Stapleton Airport. Up to 1970, the Stapleton Airport was able to accommodate the demands of Denver but in subsequent years it was unable to meet the ever growing needs of the city. The Stapleton Airport was seen as a liability and limited the attractiveness of businesses that were swarming to it. Issues with handling high traffic volume, disruptions in connection schedules, and an overall poor airport layout led the city of Denver to decide whether they wanted to expand or replace the Stapleton Airport. A study performed in 1983
What was to be the world’s largest automated airport baggage handling system, became a classic story in how technology projects can go wrong. Faced with the need for greater airport capacity, the city of Denver elected to construct a new state of the art airport that would cement

Since the building of Dubai’s first airport in 1959, Dubai’s aviation industry has grown into one of the world’s largest logistical hubs. With the addition of a $32 billion facility, The Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai’s aviation industry has had local, regional, and global impact, positioning Dubai as a world hub in the Middle East for tourism, trade, and commerce (Greenway, 2013, p 33). This essay will explore the aviation model in Dubai from the creation of its first airport in 1959, to the planned opening of The Al Maktoum International Airport to passenger travel in 2015.
