Salt Lake Cit International Airport (SLC) and Delta Air Lines announced the first flight from the airport’s Concourse A-east, the first use of the east side of SLC Concourse A, which will mirror Concourse A-west when completed.
Five new gates on Concourse A-east opened, with an additional four gates on the south side of Concourse A-east set to open in August. The remaining 13 gates and all 19 new restaurants and shops will open on Oct. 31, 2023.
For passengers, the gate-hold areas have electronic power plugins at each seat for convenience. In keeping with the art theme of The New SLC-Phase 1, the four new restrooms open on Concourse A-east each have a unique “Whimsy Wall,” artwork from local and national artists.
“Launching the initial east-side gates is very rewarding,” said Bill Wyatt, Salt Lake City Department of Airports, executive director. “We have been working nonstop since opening Phase 1- more than two years ago – to get to this point. To be here today took a lot of demolition work, a lot of steel and a lot of paving.”
