Six and Counting, or a Runway Extravaganza?
The official word on the street (or rather, the tarmac) is that Denver International Airport boasts a cool six runways. That's right, six! Enough for a plane ballet, a synchronized landing extravaganza, or maybe just to handle all those folks heading to the Mile High City. But wait, there's more!
Room for More? The Great Denver Runway Conspiracy (Kind Of)
Denver International Airport wasn't exactly shy when it was built. In fact, it seems they were like, "Six runways? Cute. How about room for TWELVE?" That's right, the whole airfield is apparently designed to accommodate an additional six runways. Now, why would they need all that space? Is it for those elusive government spaceships we keep hearing about? Maybe a secret stash of flying saucer parking?

But Seriously, Folks...
Look, conspiracy theories aside, Denver having six runways (with room for more) makes perfect sense.

Plus, with those extra runways, maybe they can finally get rid of those long taxi times... a traveler can dream, right?
