Southwest Airlines Opens Expanded Cargo Facility Denver

News summary

Southwest Airlines has opened an expanded cargo facility at Denver International Airport, nearly doubling its previous size to around 27,000-30,000 square feet, with six to seven loading docks and significantly increased refrigerated storage capacity. This $28 million investment aims to support growing cargo demand in Denver, the airline's busiest market, which sees nearly 300 daily flights to over 90 destinations. The new facility is the largest in Southwest's cargo network and enhances service efficiency by accommodating multiple customers simultaneously and providing three times more cooler space for perishable products. Southwest has emphasized the importance of this expansion in connecting Denver-area businesses to the global economy, with cargo shipments playing a critical role alongside passenger service. To further incentivize usage, Southwest Cargo is offering double Rapid Rewards points for shipments to or from Denver through the end of 2025. The expansion reflects Southwest’s broader infrastructure growth in Denver, including recent additions like a maintenance hangar and training center.
