Eight airports in Utah offer scheduled commercial passenger service. But Salt Lake City International Airport gobbles up 98% of that business.
New preliminary data from the Federal Aviation Administration for 2018 reports that the Salt Lake City airport had 12.23 million passenger boardings in 2018, up 5.3%.
Meanwhile, all other airports in Utah combined had 286,860 boardings, meaning Salt Lake City had 43 times as many.
Officials often double the number of boardings to estimate how many people also depart planes to figure how many total passengers pass through an airport. That would be about 24.
