The project also sets up the first nine gates of the Concourse B-East project. The third phase includes a main tunnel that connects the concourse with the main terminal, to cut down the dreaded walking distance between the two concourses when it opens in the fall of 2024. Most of the project will be paid by income the airport generates from landing fees, terminal rentals and other fees paid by the airlines serving the airport, airport officials said in September.Ĭonstruction of the fourth phase should begin once the third phase of construction, which is currently underway, winds down. Salt Lake City International Airport officials told KSL.com Monday the project is still on target to be completed by the end of winter 2027, with the first five gates of the project opening as early as January 2026. It is considered the fourth phase of the airport's construction after the first phase went online in 2020. The Salt Lake City Council approved the $683-million project last year. It will go toward the 16 new gates and up to five permanent hardstand positions in the expanded concourse. The grant will help replace aging and capacity-constrained facilities as a part of the airport's Concourse B-East expansion project, according to the federal agency. Bradley Mims, the agency's deputy administrator, said in a statement. "(The) funding doesn't just improve Salt Lake City International Airport's terminal, it creates opportunities in the community for good-paying jobs and a chance to be part of our country's thriving aviation sector," A. No Utah airports received program funding last year. The bill set aside $1 billion in funds for the program every year from fiscal year 2022 through the 2026 fiscal year. It is one of 99 airport terminal projects that will get funds from this year's round of the Airport Terminal Program set up by the Federal Aviation Administration via the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Federal aviation officials on Monday announced they are sending $29 million to Salt Lake City International Airport as the airport plans to add 16 new gates to Concourse B in the next few years.
