Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) hosts a unique operation by United Airlines, featuring a diverse fleet of aircraft types across various routes. Although United accounts for only a small portion of the airport's traffic, it conducts approximately 650 round-trip flights monthly. This operation is notable due to the variety of aircraft and destinations involved.
United Airlines operates over 1,000 aircraft globally, serving nearly 400 destinations. Despite its vast network, Salt Lake City's operations stand out because they deviate from the typical strategy of consolidating similar jet types at specific locations for efficiency. At SLC, United employs nine different types of aircraft on seven routes.
The aircraft operating from SLC include models such as the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-700 and the Embraer ERJ-175. Other models in use are Airbus A319 and A320, along with Boeing 737 variants including MAX 8 and MAX 9. This variety allows flexibility if one type faces grounding issues.
