Denver International Airport is D01's primary airport. Additionally, the TRACON provides approach control service to six other controlled airports (including Pueblo and Grand Junction) and seven public/municipal airports. The TRACON averages over 2,700 daily operations and in 2008, the facility handled almost 840,000 operations.

Inter-facility operations are performed with Denver ARTCC, Colorado Springs Approach, Cheyenne Approach, and numerous Control Towers. D01 located within designated mountainous terrain. D01 was the 1st to conduct triple simultaneous ILS approaches, which is 3 aircraft side-by-side on final. During VFR conditions, DEN will routinely set an airport arrival rate in excess of 160 flights per hour!!!

There are approximately 60 controllers assigned to D01, providing round-the-clock coverage.
