Air Service Development
A New Era of Air Service
Salt Lake City is securing its position as a global aviation hub by continuing to build a brand new terminal facility that will serve and grow with the region for decades to come. Replacing three aging terminals, The New SLC is a state-of-the art facility with one large, central terminal and two linear concourses connected by a passenger tunnel, with more space and conveniences to give passengers a world-class airport experience. Already a major airline hub, SLC has long been a converging access point for the Intermountain West. Now, with the opening of The New SLC in 2020, a new era of air service has begun, with expanded domestic and international opportunities and an elevated passenger experience.

Weekly Flight Schedule Update
Purpose
The aviation industry remains a volatile one. Following one of the most disruptive events in air travel history, airlines continue to respond to the residual effects of COVID such as pilot shortages, aircraft delivery delays, inflation and growing economic uncertainty. The purpose of this document is to highlight the flight schedule changes airlines are making at SLC as they navigate through these headwinds. Also included is updated route maps and national comparisons.
Outlook
SLC was among one of the first large-hub airports to recover from the pandemic. This can be attributed to Utah’s strong and diverse economic environment, SLC’s status as a core hub for Delta Air Lines and the airport’s proximity to Utah’s outdoor recreational assets. While business travel continues to recover, leisure remains the primary purpose for air travel and demand for 2023 is robust, including at SLC where passenger traffic is expected to exceed 2019 levels for the first time.

Air Service Development Recovery Plan
The immediate impact of COVID-19 has been substantial for the aviation industry and for SLC. In response to the unprecedented impact of the virus on the global economy and specifically the aviation industry, the airport has established an Air Service Development Recovery Plan. The purpose of the plan is to develop an air service strategy that will guide the airport to recovery through the following four cornerstone initiatives: airport, airline, community and consumer. The objective of the plan is to restore passenger air service at SLC to pre-pandemic levels as quickly and strategically as possible, returning the hub as the superior air access point for Utah and the Intermountain West.
