In January 2025, the city of Provo, Utah, introduced a new campaign slogan on its airport’s website: “Anywhere you want to go, Fly Provo.” The slogan aims to promote Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) as a hub for both vacation and business travel in Utah. This initiative seeks to build on the record growth and milestone achievements of the 2024 season.

Provo Municipal Airport is located nearly 4,500 feet above sea level (1,370 meters) and sits 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City, Utah’s capital. According to the airport, it began as a dirt airstrip in the 1940s but has since evolved into an important provider of air travel services for the greater Salt Lake City area.

The year 2024 was remarkable for PVU. According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Provo Municipal Airport experienced a growth rate of 481% in passengers boarding planes to fly out of the airport. This increase translates from 77,217 passengers in 2020 to 448,972 in 2024.

“Exciting news for Provo travelers! Provo Airport is officially the fastest- growing commercial airport in the U.S., and it’s about to get even bigger. With a six-gate expansion in the works, we can’t wait to see what the future holds,” said @flightsfromprovo via Instagram.

As of now there are two asphalt runways at PVU – one for commercial flights and another primarily for general aviation. The recently expanded terminal features modern amenities designed to accommodate growing passenger demand with a goal of ten gates.

In terms of airlines serving PVU; Allegiant Air began operations from Provo to Phoenix/Mesa in February 2013 followed by twice-weekly flights to Oakland one month later. By September that year flights were added Los Angeles (LAX). In June-2016 San Diego was added but service was dropped along with Oakland by -2018 while Tucson routes started instead during November same year onwards .
