New SLC airport in the works
After more than 50 years without a major facelift or reconstruction, the old Salt Lake City International Airport is being demolished and an entirely new one will go up. Very surprised this is in the works! "All of the current terminals will be combined into one" I don't think I really like that idea. (www.fox13now.com) المزيد...

I'm super glad to hear this. My wife is from Idaho Falls, and we either fly to or through KSLC once or twice a year (or through KDEN if the price/routing/schedule is better than SLC). I agree that Concourse E is nasty, but have never been over to A or B. We have had to RUN to planes through SLC and it has few moving walkways. And agreed too that it is dark in spots, concourse "E" (where the regional flights are handled) was awful. It was sometimes very busy if 2-3 regionals landed at the same time or if there were weather delays. One trip through there, there was nowhere to sit except the floor.
This is great news! Those E gates are ghetto.
Im curious how "one terminal" will work. No international terminal?

Probably just like other airports that have one terminal.
I ment specifically in the case of SLC as they are keeping the concorses the same (except A and B).
Think in terms of the McNamara terminal at DTW...where both international and domestic flights are collocated. The fact that they're planning only one terminal isn't as important as the fact that they're increasing gate capacity, pax-connection efficiency, and better ease of aircraft movement (which is what Delta needs and wants). A single multi-level terminal is sufficient to handle departure/arrival passengers at any airport that serves primarily as a connecting hub.
They aren't really building a new airport, just a new terminal.
I used to fly through SLC frequently and recall it was a long walk through narrow, dingy, dog legged corridors.
