SLC International Named Utahn of the Year

SLC Sets Record in 2023

SLC hit a new high with a record number of passengers reported in 2023. From Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2023, the airport recorded 26,952,754 passengers, surpassing the previous record of 26,808,014 in 2019. The growth is attributed primarily to an increase in international passengers. Salt Lake Department of Airports Executive Director Bill Wyatt attributed the robust Utah economy and partnership with Delta Air Lines as a reason for the rebound in passenger traffic.

Cirium Ranks SLC Fifth Worldwide

SLC International Airport was ranked in fifth place by Cirium in the 2023 Top Performing Global Airport category for on-time performance. Only one other U.S. airport ranked in the top five...congratulations to Minneapolis!

Hats off to Delta Air Lines, which took the lead for on-time airlines in North America. Cirium is touted as the world’s most trusted source of aviation analytics.

In other rankings, J.D. Power recently released its North America Airport Satisfaction Study, and SLC ranked third in the size category. The study measures overall traveler satisfaction with mega, large and medium North American airports based on facilities, security screening and check-in processes, as well as retail and food/beverage offerings. Learn more about the rankings in The Salt Lake Tribune and see how SLC compared to other airports.
