Salt Lake City SLC Airport Overview

Salt Lake City International Airport SLC is Utah's primary - and one of the nation's largest airports. (It is also an Emergency Medical Dispatch (IAED) accredited airport.)  Delta's third-largest hub with its reservation center headquartered here.  PC World Magazine considers SLC Airport as one of the best airports for Tech Travelers.

The Airport is located five miles northwest of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah (a 10-minute drive), is accessible right off Interstate Hwy 80 (Exit Bangerter Hwy) and is close to  I-215 (Belt Route). It is also 15 minutes from the Salt Palace Convention Center and downtown hotels. 

Not only is the Airport within an hour's range from 11 major ski resorts, but it is also the gateway to 42 state parks, and numerous golf courses, the closest of which is the Wingpointe Golf Course adjacent to the Airport.

With three major runways and an estimated 20.1 million passengers in 2012,  the Airport is hub to Delta Air Lines and is served by a number of other airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. However, Delta presently is the dominant airline representing nearly three quarters of all airlines.

The passenger terminal complex at Salt Lake City Airport includes three terminals - T1, T2 & the International Terminal - all laid out in a semi-circle surrounding the short-term parking garage, and connected to each other and to their concourses on the second level.

Passenger Pickup /Dropoff: Delta passengers exit from Terminal 2.  International Arrivals exit from International Terminal.  All other passengers exit from Terminal 1.  Pickup & dropoff lanes in front of the terminals are separated.  For passenger pickup, use the 'Park & Wait Lot' (free cell phone lot) - as you enter the Airport, it is to your right, south of Terminal 1. Wait in the car until your party collected bags & calls you to be picked up at the curb.
Parking options at SLC Airport include cell phone lot, hourly/daily garage, and long-term economy lot with free shuttle service. (Details are in the parking section.)

Rental car booths for major rental car agencies are on the lower level of the parking garage.

Future Airport Developments:  The new Terminal Redevelopment Program, started in early 2012, will take place over a period of 8-10 years, thereby creating a single terminal with concourses, parking & support facilities. (2012 projects so far only involved general repair/replacement work & the addition/ replacement of concessions).  These are the next three steps of a total of 13 steps to be taken under its Phase I of construction  project:
Step 1starts construction of QTA and begins phased renovation of Concourse A. 
Step 2 involves demolition of South leg of Concourse E (excluding baggage room), and of existing RAC service site; it is also start of Cup & Utilily tunnel construction; of temporary roads, and demolition of apron area and south concourse.
Step 3 involves rerouting of existing terminal roadways for new roadways and terminal building; start of construction of new terminal and South Concourse West; Apron demolition and new Apron construction.
