Customer Experience/Facilities
In September 2020, Delta’s growth expanded at Salt Lake City International Airport with the launch of a 900,000-square-foot Concourse A. Summer 2023 saw the opening of nine additional gates, and in October 2023, in partnership with the Salt Lake City Department of Airports, Delta finished the eastern portion of Concourse A with 22 more gates, bringing the airline’s gate total to 50 at SLC. The expansion also included a new Delta Need Help Center for customers looking for travel assistance, as well as 19 new restaurants and shops.
Earlier in 2023, Delta also further cemented its position as the leading global carrier in SLC with a new lease agreement with Salt Lake City that increases Delta’s gate count from 55 to 66, with an anticipated completion in 2027.

Located next to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), the 47,000-square-foot facility will complement Delta’s Atlanta training facility and is scheduled to open in 2025.
