I haven't posted on the topic in a while,
but here are some additional renderings. Keep in mind it is still not
finalized but for the most part, this is what it will be for phase 1. Phase
2 will add the additional concourse to the north connected with tunnels
and automated people mover train. There is also space reserved for a
large airport hotel built adjacent to the terminal in phase 2.
As for other SLC news, the new Alaska routes have been mentioned.
Alaska has moved to terminal 1 and operates out of concourse A.
Previously they had used a Delta gate and check-in was in terminal 2.
Alaska could indeed add more routes but they are limited on gate space.
SLC-Hawaii nonstop on Alaska is not likely right now because they don't
have the aircraft with the needed range and performance to make it
nonstop from SLC. There is enough demand, but it will have to be
one-stop via other cities. Mexico could happen, we'll see.
Other new routes include Delta non-stop to Raleigh/Durham, NC
which started today. SkyWest (Delta Connection) was awarded essential
air service grants from the federal government to start new flights from
SLC to Moab and Vernal beginning in March. There will be two flights a
day to each city (1 on Sat/Sun). This service will replace existing service
from Vernal to Denver and Moab to Denver on Great Lakes Airlines.
The flights to Vernal and Moab will be operated with 30 seat Embraer
Brasilia aircraft.
The Delta/Alaska competition is heating up and it will be interesting to
see what Delta does to protect its turf.
