Overnight TSA security checkpoint times change at Denver International Airport

Denver Worldwide Airport will change its in a single day safety checkpoint occasions beginning Might 5, based on the Transportation Safety Administration.

TSA will not function safety checkpoints and bag scans from 1 a.m. to three a.m.

South Safety, which operates 24/7, is the one checkpoint impacted by this variation. Bridge safety closes at 5:45 p.m. and reopens at 4:30 a.m. and West safety closes at 7:30 p.m. and reopens at 4 a.m.

“This alteration was made to make sure that our workers is allotted on the acceptable occasions all through the day when flights are working when we’ve got essentially the most, or extra, folks coming via the safety checkpoints,” TSA consultant Lorie Dankers mentioned. “That permits us to maintain further lanes open as a result of the people who find themselves not working for these two hours can work when extra persons are coming via the safety checkpoint. That’s simply how we preserve our operation as environment friendly as doable.”

The brand new schedule may have minimal affect on airline passengers, based on TSA. DIA’s first flight is at 5 a.m. so airport staff and passengers may have two hours to clear safety earlier than departure time. The airport’s last flight departs by 12:59 a.m.

“We don’t suppose that it’ll disenfranchise anybody when it comes to having the ability to be screened,” Dankers added.
