Salt Lake City International Airport serves more than 20 million passengers a year from facilities designed 50 years ago to serve half that many travelers. A lot has changed since then.

We’ve grown into a hub airport, with many flights arriving and leaving around the same time. Security needs are vastly different. We need buildings that meet earthquake-safety standards.

Our existing facilities have served us well, but it’s time to make way for the next generation of airport design. The New SLC will have tremendous economic impacts to Salt Lake City and the State of Utah.

Stay Cost-Competitive: SLC is one of the nation’s most cost-efficient airports for airline operations and replacing aging facilities will help keep costs low. The program is funded by federal grants, user fees, airport revenue bonds and airport reserves; no local tax dollars will be used. Source by Salt Lake City International Airport.
