Final 13 Gates and 11 Concessions Now Open
Salt Lake City, UT (Oct. 31, 2023) – The completion of Phase 2 of The New SLC Redevelopment Program was marked by the 6:44 a.m. departure of flight #349 to Atlanta. During an early-morning ceremony, a 45’ wide by 14’ tall curtain opened to reveal the remaining 13 gates and a dozen new shops and restaurants on Concourse A-east.
“These new gates and amenities will further elevate the guest experience at the Salt Lake City International Airport for Salt Lakers and visitors from all over the world,” said Mayor Erin Mendenhall. “Salt Lake City is proud to be a Delta hub in the West and home to one of the top performing airports in the world. The completion of Phase 2 will provide efficient services and modern facilities for travelers who are eager for a seamless journey.”
Three years ago, Phase 1 of The New SLC Redevelopment Program opened with a new parking garage, central terminal and the west end of concourses A and B. Since then, the former airport has been demolished and construction has started on Phases 2, 3 and 4.
“The completion of Concourse A comes just ahead of what we anticipate will be a busy holiday and ski travel season,” said Adam Ryan, managing director of Delta’s SLC Operations. “It’s a privilege for the 5,400 Delta employees here in Salt Lake City to share this state-of-the-art facility with our customers as we continue to provide them with the elevated experience they have come to expect from Delta.”
The airport opened the initial five gates on the north side of Concourse A-east on May 16, 2023, and four more gates began operating on the south side on Aug. 22, 2023.
In addition, the following new concessions are now open on Concourse A-east: The Atrium, Auntie Anne’s, Burger King, Blue Iguana, Hudson News and Hudson Nonstop, Hugo Coffee Roasters, Jimmy John’s, Millcreek Coffee Roasters, Minute Suites, Protein Bar & Kitchen, Red Rock Brewery, Rockwell Ice Cream, SLC Public Market, Utah Jazz Store, Vessel Kitchen and Wow Bao. P.F. Chang’s will also open in the coming weeks.

“The completion of Phase 2 highlights another remarkable milestone in The New SLC Redevelopment Program,” said Bill Wyatt, Salt Lake City Department of Airports executive director. “Thanks to the dedicated workers who have spent numerous days and nights to ensure these gates and concessions would open today,” Wyatt added.
In keeping with the art theme of The New SLC Redevelopment Program, the four new restrooms on Concourse A-east each have a unique “Whimsy Wall” artwork created by four Utah artists: Brianna Benion – Rainbow Landscape; Trent Call – Lake Bonneville; Levi Jackson – Untitled; and Whitni Jo Parry – Hive. In addition, three flying machines by Utah Artist Dennis Smith now hang at the far end of Concourse A-east.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
