Delta Air Lines has opened a new pilot training facility in Salt Lake City, marking a significant investment outside its Atlanta headquarters. The facility, located near the Salt Lake City International Airport, was inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Delta leaders and local officials.

John Laughter, Executive Vice President and Chief of Operations at Delta, stated, “This 50,000-square-foot training center is really about the future.” He emphasized the benefits of improved training quality and enhanced convenience for pilots in Delta's western hubs.

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall highlighted the importance of this development for both Delta and the city. “It's a major step forward for our partnership,” she said.
