Kim Day may head DIA

Kim Day, former LAWA Executive Director, has been selected by the Mayor of Denver to run Denver International Airport.

Day is expected to lead an expansion effort for DIA and also attract service to Asia.

Note to L.A. Chamber of Commerce- If Denver adds a non-stop to Tokyo, that does not mean that LAX loses a flight. What is does mean is that the international commercial aviation market is growing. Whatever airline adds that service is bringing in another airplane, not taking one away from LAX. LAX will actually gain seats to Tokyo with a Denver-Tokyo flight because there won't be Denver passengers transferring via LAX to Tokyo and spending $3 at Starbucks in Terminal 2, 4, 6 or the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
