US: Denver Airport developing $1b renovation partnership

A more than $1b partnership with a Spanish firm over three decades would renovate the Denver International Airport terminal by moving the security screening area and tripling the amount of space for shops and restaurants. The project also would consolidate ticket counters, which become less necessary as more people check in online and use automated ticketing kiosks. The airport would work with Madrid-based Ferrovial Airports on the four-year renovation project, airport officials said. Ferrovial would then operate expanded concessions in the terminal over three decades. Work could begin next summer. Airport CEO Kim Day has said she wants the renovations to include attractions such as a zipline or climbing wall in airport's new main-level atrium.<br/>
