Airport officials estimate that decreased passenger traffic will allow the project team to reduce the overall redevelopment schedule by two years and save as much as $300 million. Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hammer airlines and airports alike, SLC is making the best of the situation by accelerating Phase 2 with the support of its carriers. Phase 2, which is currently in the works, includes the completion of the new concourses A and B and construction of a pedestrian tunnel to connect the two. Two new linear concourses, one solely occupied by Delta Air Lines and another shared by six other carriers Ī 3,600-stall garage with visitor parking and rental car facilities Ī new elevated roadway for departures traffic and The long-term project is replacing three aging terminals with a single central terminal that contains four concourses.Ī new 908,754-square-foot terminal with separate check-in areas on two levels “We want passengers to know where they are, and the airport to look like the surrounding environment.” “Because we’re a hub, many people who use the airport don’t actually set foot outside,” says Wyatt.
It was also very important for the new facilities to reflect the feel and culture of Salt Lake City and Utah. Last year, SLC served 26 million passengers in facilities designed 50 years ago to handle just 10 million passengers.Īirports Director Bill Wyatt explains that the redevelopment program is creating a “new SLC” that meets the needs of 21st century passengers with an efficient and functional facility. In mid-September, Salt Lake City International (SLC) unveiled the first phase of its $4.1 billion redevelopment project, a comprehensive series of much-needed operational and aesthetic upgrades throughout the entire airport.
