DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KDEN) standard taxi routes
Denver, CO
Effective October 3, 2024
Explanation of Changes. The updates to the Standardized Taxi Routes are derived from pilot outreach feedback, internal collaborative stakeholder meetings, and the Denver Airport Traffic Control Tower Local Safety Council. These changes are implemented to provide clarification, reduce confusion, effectively communicate the route and/or communication expectations and mitigate potential risk. The changes are meant to increase safety related to utilization of the standardized taxi routes and remove ambiguity.
Public standard taxi routes
Public use Standard Taxi Routes are available at pilot’s request.
KDEN has instituted public use Standard Taxi Routes to/from runways 16L/34R, 17L/35R,7/25, and 8/26 for arriving and departing aircraft.
Public Standard Taxi Routes may be requested by the pilot, thereby indicating they are familiar with the route. Once requested, the route may be issued by the tower or ground controller instead of a typical full taxiway routing.
The routes will be issued as “Taxi via Freeze Route, Taxi via North Route, etc.”.
The routes are published in text form below.
