SALT LAKE CITY- Delta Air Lines (DL) is expanding its presence at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) by inaugurating 13 new gates on Concourse A, marking the completion of the impressive 900,000-square-foot terminal, which initially began serving customers in September 2020.
With this development, all flights departing from Concourse A will now utilize jet bridges for boarding and deplaning, eliminating the need for bus operations to remote hardstand locations.

In collaboration with the Salt Lake City Department of Airports, the eastern part of Concourse A now includes 22 gates, with nine of them already operational earlier in the summer.
This expansion increases the total number of gates for the airline at Salt Lake City International Airport to 50. Additionally, it incorporates a new Delta Need Help Center to assist travelers and introduces 19 new dining and shopping options for the enjoyment of customers.
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall expressed, “These fresh gates and enhancements will enhance the overall experience for both residents of Salt Lake and visitors from across the globe at Salt Lake City International Airport. Salt Lake City takes pride in being a Delta hub in the Western region and the home to one of the world’s top-performing airports. The finalization of this expansion will offer efficient services and contemporary facilities to travelers seeking a smooth and hassle-free journey.”
Most Connected Airline of SLC
Delta operates more flights out of Salt Lake City (SLC) than all other airlines combined, serving nearly 30,000 customers on a daily basis through 237 peak-day flights to 88 destinations in the autumn of 2023.
Over the past decade, the airline has committed over $12 billion to airport projects across the United States, reinforcing its commitment to shaping the future of travel by constructing airports that prioritize comfort, ease of navigation, and seamless connectivity throughout the journey.
This year, Delta solidified its status as the leading global carrier in Salt Lake City through a new lease agreement with the city, which will raise Delta’s gate count from 55 to 66, with an expected completion by 2027.
Additionally, in June, Delta initiated the construction of a new pilot training facility in Salt Lake City, marking the first investment in a training facility outside of its Atlanta headquarters since 1968.
Delta’s substantial engagement within the Salt Lake City community is exemplified through its collaboration with over a dozen local organizations. Coinciding with the commencement of the Utah Jazz’s regular season, last week marked the formal reintroduction of the Delta Center to Salt Lake City, following the establishment of the naming rights partnership between the Jazz and Delta Air Lines back in July.
