General
Salt Lake City International is a public airport located in western Salt Lake City, Utah.
The airport is the second largest and one of the fastest growing hubs for Delta Air Lines, as well as hubs for Delta Connection partners ExpressJet and SkyWest. The airport also has a strong Southwest Airlines presence. The airport spans over 7,600 acres (31 km²) and consists of four runways, five concourses in two terminals with 90 aircraft parking spots, an international terminal with customs facilities, as well as maintenance, cargo, FBO, general aviation, Utah Air National Guard, Life Flight, and other landside and airside facilities. An 18-hole golf course known as Wingpointe lies adjacent to the airport.
According to the Air Traffic Statistics and Activity Report, from July 2006 to July 2007 exactly 21,951,193 passegers flew through the Salt Lake International Airport. As of September 2007, there were over 450 scheduled airline departures per day to over 110 non-stop destinations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, averaging around 2 million passengers per month and 66,000 passengers per day flying through Salt Lake City International Airport. Forty of the fifty states can be reached non-stop from Salt Lake City. The airport will see its first Trans-Atlantic route in June 2008 when Delta begins non-stop service to Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France.
According to the United States Department of Transportation Bureau of Statistics, Salt Lake City International ranked number one among U.S. airports in on-time departures and arrivals in 2006 and thru July 2007. Salt Lake City International also had the fewest flight cancellations among U.S. airports. JD Power and Associates has ranked the Salt Lake International Airport among one of the top mid-sized U.S. airports for customer satisfaction.
Air Cargo services include, FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
A revised master plan was released in May 2006 for the airport and is available for the public to view at the airport's website. Future plans call for runway 17/35 to be realigned to more precisely parallel runways 16L/34R and 16R/34L. Plans also call for runway 16L/34R to be lengthened to 15,100 feet. Plans for a fourth parallel runway west of current 16R/34L are also shown but is more than fifteen years away.
In addition to runway reconfigurations, the airport will construct a new terminal and two new concourses. Plans call for a single terminal with an attached concourse consisting of 31 mainline gates and an additional paralleling satellite concourse consisting of 15 mainline gates and 44 regional jet gates. The two concourses would be attached with an underground automated train. The existing terminal and concourses would be demolished and would leave room for additional expansion onto the two new concourses in the future.
Other plans call for a new parking garage, expanded cargo facilities, and a UTA TRAX light rail line to downtown.
