Denver International Airport officials said Wednesday that the airport will revamp procedures so it is notified promptly when operating permits of limousine companies are revoked or canceled by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
The airport acted after a national transportation website said its review of luxury limousine companies on DIA’s site found the permits of about 10 percent of the firms listed had been revoked, canceled or were in danger of losing insurance coverage.
As many as 200 limo companies have been listed on the airport’s website.
DIA spokeswoman Sally Covington said inquiries prompted by the report by helped the airport discover that it did not get an automatic PUC notification when a limo company loses its permit.
DIA needs to know when a permit is lost so the airport can revoke security badges that give limo companies access to the terminal’s fifth-level ground transportation lanes and staging area, Covington said.
