Salt Lake City International Airport at a Glance

Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is the main commercial airport for Utah and much of the surrounding Mountain West. It is a major hub for Delta Air Lines, which gives travellers a wide choice of nonstop flights across the United States as well as some international routes. The airport has been rebuilt around a modern central terminal, designed to ease the flow of passengers.

Location: SLC and Downtown Salt Lake City

The airport sits about 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) west of downtown Salt Lake City. That short distance makes it one of the more convenient city-to-airport trips in the country, and the Wasatch Mountains and major ski areas are within driving distance.

Terminal and Concourses at Salt Lake City Airport

SLC has a single terminal building linked to two long, parallel concourses, A and B, by underground walkways. A central tunnel shortens the walk to Concourse B. The terminal core, known for a large art installation called The Canyon, holds check-in, security and baggage claim. Walks to the far gates can be long, so allow time after security.

Airlines Flying from SLC

Delta Air Lines carries most passengers at Salt Lake City. Other carriers include American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier and JetBlue, which serve a mix of hubs and leisure destinations. Check the current schedule for the route you need.

Getting from SLC to Downtown Salt Lake City

The TRAX Green Line light rail runs from the Airport station, just outside the terminal on the ground level, into downtown in about 20 minutes. Taxis, ride-hailing services, hotel shuttles and rental cars are also available, and Interstate 80 passes right by the airport.

Things to Do Near Salt Lake City

Temple Square and the Utah State Capitol are close to downtown. Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island and the ski resorts of the Wasatch Front are easy day trips, and the national parks of southern Utah are a longer road trip away.

Tips for Flying from Salt Lake City

Because the concourses are long, check your gate early and use the moving walkways. In winter, snow can affect schedules, so watch for updates from your airline before leaving for the airport.
