Delta boosts Salt Lake City cargo and connectivity
Delta Air Lines is investing up to USD 18 million to develop a state-of-the-art 4,500 sqm cargo hub at Salt Lake City International Airport, exemplifying its ongoing commitment to Utah. This modern facility, which will replace the existing US Postal Service building, aims to significantly enhance cargo operations, including warehousing, refrigerated storage and cold-chain capabilities for temperature-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals and perishables. Scheduled to open in 2027, the centre will bolster Utah's supply chain, support local manufacturing and facilitate global trade, strengthening Utah's infrastructure and economic prospects.
Delta's presence in Salt Lake City continues to grow as the airline operates over 270 flights daily to more than 100 international destinations, including London and Paris. Beyond cargo, Delta has recently added new routes to Lima and Seoul and opened a cutting-edge pilot training centre, signalling robust expansion. Mayor Erin Mendenhall highlights that these investments deepen the city's global connections and economic resilience, with the cargo hub being a pivotal element of Salt Lake City's future infrastructure development.
