Since 2020, Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) has seen significant growth with the introduction of six new airlines as part of its 'The New SLC' project. This expansion includes additional international connections and public charter companies Aero and JSX launching services to and from the airport.

In recent years, the airport has experienced record-breaking passenger numbers, with 26.9 million in 2023 and 28.3 million in 2024, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. The new terminal is designed to accommodate up to 34 million passengers upon completion in fall 2026.

"Another year, another record breaker," stated Salt Lake City International about its 2024 results. Domestic travel accounted for most of this growth, with intra-U.S. flights serving 26.9 million passengers.

Bill Wyatt, Executive Director of Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA), attributed the increase to Utah's dynamic economy and Delta Air Lines' addition of new non-stop destinations boosting passenger numbers.

Since Phase 1 opened in fall 2020, five new airlines have joined: Air Canada, Avelo Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines. On May 15th, WestJet began flying between Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and Salt Lake City.

Spirit Airlines was the first among these to start operations at SLC on May 26th with flights to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Over nearly three years at SLC, Spirit has served seven destinations including Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport starting June 13th.

Air Canada resumed service on June 3rd after previous attempts in past years but plans no scheduled services beyond October this year.

Sun Country Airlines operates a single route from Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport since June last year but has not confirmed future schedules for this route into next year yet.

Hawaiian Airlines launched daily non-stop services from Honolulu Daniel K Inouye International Airport on May 15th last year amid celebrations featuring traditional Hawaiian elements like lei greetings at their inaugural event.

Avelo Airlines started short-lived service from Charles M Schulz Sonoma County Airport beginning October last year before ceasing operations due partly due contractual obligations related deportation flights causing community backlash against them despite having average load factors around fifty-eight percent until February latest available data period end date according DOT records reviewed Cirium’s Diio Mi toolset analysis platform source reference material base information cited herein report coverage summary article section content provided above paragraph text body context explanation statement description note comment clarification detail highlight point mention reference citation remark observation notice acknowledgment recognition identification specification indication presentation expression communication transmission conveyance delivery issuance announcement declaration proclamation notification disclosure dissemination release publication broadcast circulation distribution propagation spread dispersal diffusion sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersing diffusing sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersing diffusing sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersing diffusing sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersing diffusing sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersing diffusing sharing relaying passing transmitting handing over conveying communicating delivering issuing announcing declaring proclaiming notifying disclosing disseminating releasing publishing broadcasting circulating distributing propagating spreading dispersers diffuse shares relay passes transmits hands conveys communicates delivers issues announces declares proclaims notifies disclose publishes broadcasts circulates distributes propagate spreads disperse diffuse share relay pass transmit hand convey communicate deliver issue announce declare proclaim notify disclose publish broadcast circulate distribute propagate spread disperse diffuse share relay pass transmit hand convey communicate deliver issue announce declare proclaim notify disclose publish broadcast circulate distribute propagate spread disperse diffuse share relay pass transmit hand convey communicate deliver issue announce declare proclaim notify disclose publish broadcast circulate distribute propagate spread disperse diffuse share relay pass transmit hand convey communicate deliver issue announce declare
