Delta Air Lines says it is making big plans for its hub operations at the soon-to-be rebuilt Salt Lake City International Airport, including adding non-stop flights to Asia when it is finished.
“Salt Lake has been our fastest growing hub” in the United States, growing faster than Atlanta, Detroit and Minneapolis, Joe Esposito, Delta’s senior vice present of network planning, told the city’s Airport Advisory Board on Wednesday. He expects such growth to continue.
Since 2014, the number of seats Delta offers on flights here has increased more than 30%. It also operates nearly three of every four departing flights from Salt Lake City International.
