Frequently Asked Questions

What is shown on the Denver International Airport Airside Operations patch?

It is a round scene patch with red banner ribbons. The top reads DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION and the bottom reads AIRSIDE OPERATIONS. The center shows the Rocky Mountains, the DEN tent-roof terminal, a jet, and a runway with DEN in white letters.

What does DEN mean on the patch?

DEN is the airport code for Denver International Airport. It is set in large white letters over the runway in the scene, marking the patch as a Denver airport design.

What is airside operations?

Airside operations is the team that manages the movement areas of an airport, the runways, taxiways, and ramps where aircraft operate. This patch is for the Denver Department of Aviation airside operations group.

What is the tent-shaped roofline?

It is the peaked white roof of the Denver International Airport terminal, whose tensile fabric peaks are designed to echo the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. It is the airport most recognizable landmark.

Can you make a custom airport or agency patch like this for our team?

Yes. A round scene with banner ribbons and a custom skyline is a flexible template. We can swap the scene, lettering, colors, and border to fit your department or unit, with a free proof before production.

Do I need authorization to order a patch with the Denver airport name on it?

Yes. Patches carrying a real agency name such as the Denver Department of Aviation are made only for that agency or its authorized representatives. Custom or renamed designs for your own team are welcome without that step.
