Once the odd gates are removed, there will be half the quantity of passengers but the same amount of room.

The seemingly endless corridors and endless walking coupled with the vast warehouse-like waiting area could have been better designed in the 1990's. It was just so out-of-step with everything else at the airport.

It was pretty much in-step with other facilities from the era at other airports -- look at Concourse A at IAD, the old Concourse E at SLC, Concourse D at CLE, Concourse E at PIT, etc. Heck, the banjos on the south side of Terminal B at IAH were replaced with that kind of design less than ten years ago (not to mention the A3 gates which WN will use temporarily). And the prop gates at the east end of Concourse A at DEN were probably even worse.
Better experiences like Concourses A & B at MSP, Terminal F at PHL, Concourse E at CLT, and the proper build-out of DTW Concourse C didn't really happen until the 2000-2010 time period.

CURRENT BRAKING ACTION REPORTS ARE NIL

Construction should be finished at the end of 2020, Operational beginning of 2021.

Perhaps you meant the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 ?

Hawaiian maybe but I think it’s more likely breeze which would be interesting since I don’t think they would go that far west to start but this is very interesting

Hawaiian is a really good guess in my opinion. They should really shift more of their long-haul aircraft to the states for this summer.

That would be intriguing with southwest going to fly to Hawaii from Denver probably not tell next year because of the max 7 and United flying many flights I feel like they would get killed though chances are it wouldn’t be daily

What is your source that WN will fly Denver to Hawaii? I haven't seen anything on that.

I don’t have a source they have said it many articles that they would use the max seven to do that route

Some random guesses:
- Avianca to SAL (pretty sure this has minimal O&D)
- VivaAerobus to MTY/MEX
- JSX to LAS
- Swiss takes over Edelweiss' ZRH flight.
Or, what if it's a new cargo airline? Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, etc.
