Salt Lake International Airport Development Thread

[jubguy3]

Possibly good news for SLC. There's some weird stock-purchasing agreement going on between Delta, Air France - KLM, and China Eastern to purchase stock in Virgin Atlantic. Virgin isn't a member of SkyTeam but it sounds like delta and its associates are pushing virgin towards joining. The incorporation of China Eastern may mark a good sign for SLC - flights to and from Shanghai? And possibly flights on Virgin Atlantic to LHR considering that Virgin isn't in an alliance yet? - This will open up slots at LHR for skyteam which has traditionally been very expensive to purchase spots at. I don't really understand the specifics of the deal and regulatory approval is still required but considering that it involves SkyTeam hopefully its good news for Salt Lake.
