The Salt Lake City International Airport, situated 10 minutes west of downtown Salt Lake City, served 18.5 million passengers in 2003 making it the 25th busiest airport in the U.S. and the world's 47th busiest. One half of the U.S. population is located within a 2.5 hours' flight of the airport. Salt Lake International currently has two terminals, five concourses and 70 gates. Its airfield consists of three carrier runways and a general aviation runway. A variety of national and international airlines combine to operate over 75,000 seats on ore than 770 daily flights from Salt Lake International, including non-stop service to at least 70 cities. In contrast to many other metropolitan airports, Salt Lake City International has acquired substantial property for the future expansion of services, terminals and runways, in order to ensure the future quality of air service without the delays, congestions and overcrowding that characterize many airports. Salt Lake International Airport recently received a first place award from the International Snow Symposium for snow removal and ice control during winter 2002.
In addition to Salt Lake International, there are at least 47 public access airports serving communities throughout Utah. For listings of Utah airports, visit www.airnav.com/airports/state/UT.html, or www.onlineutah.com/airports.shtml.
