On average, passengers at Denver International Airport waited about 11 minutes to pass through the hub’s security checkpoints last month.
The Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday that data shows daily wait times were between just 10 and 12 minutes for travelers in June. So far this month, TSA says passengers are waiting 10 minutes or less to get through security at DIA.
The security agency still advises travelers to arrive at the airport two hours before their flights because lines can grow during peak periods.
Since Memorial Day weekend, security checkpoint wait times , thanks to what officials say is a major overhaul of the way they keep passengers safe.
“Over the past month, I think we have dramatically changed the experience for passengers,” TSA chief Peter Neffenger said Monday at the Global Business Travel Association conference in Denver. “The things that you’re hearing about, we’ve tackled, we’ve changed.”
In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day, the agency was dogged by massive security leading airports to recommend that travelers arrive up three hours before their departure time and upping worries that this summer — projected to be one of the busiest travel seasons ever — was going to be marred by flight delays and cancelled trips.
TSA says travelers should expect lines to get even shorter because TSA is boosting its workforce and using to become more efficient.
