The city bought a 100-acre tract around Basque Flats for $4,000 and built a field, hangar and other facilities. That would change in 1920 when the United States Postal Service (USPS) began air mail service to Salt Lake City. įor several years, the new field was used mainly for training and aerobatic flights. Curtiss took off from the nearby Great Salt Lake, awing the 20,000 spectators and making international headlines. Curtiss brought his newly invented Seaplane to the carnival, a type of airplane that had never been demonstrated to the public. The Great International Aviation Carnival was held the same year and brought aviation pioneers representing Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and a team representing the Wright Brothers to Salt Lake City. In 1911, a site for an air field was chosen on Basque Flats, named for Spanish-French sheep herders who worked the fields in the then-desolate area of the Salt Lake Valley, where a cinder-covered landing was subsequently created. The airport is owned by the City of Salt Lake City and is administered by the municipal Department of Airports. The airport ranked first for on-time departures and arrivals and first for the percentage of cancellations as of April 2017. Salt Lake City International Airport continues to rank high for on-time departures/arrivals and the fewest flight cancellations among major US airports. It is by far the busiest airport in Utah. The airport sees 343 scheduled nonstop airline departures per day to 93 cities in North America and Europe.
The airport serves as a hub for Delta Air Lines and is a major gateway to the Intermountain West and West Coast. The airport is the closest commercial airport for more than 2.5 million people and is within a 30-minute drive of nearly 1.3 million jobs. Salt Lake City International Airport ( IATA: SLC, ICAO: KSLC, FAA LID: SLC) is a civil-military airport located about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. It is also one of four TRAX stations (all of which are located at the north end of the Green Line) that is powered by solar panels located on top of the station's canopy through a project which was initially funded in part by Rocky Mountain Power.Source: Salt Lake City International Airport The station opened on April 14, 2013, and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the Green Line. The combined work is called The Power Station and was designed by Darl Thomas of Salt Lake City. The artwork for the Power station includes benches designed to resemble wind turbines. Like many other UTA stations, this station has artwork included in its design. Unlike many TRAX stations, Power does not have a Park and Ride lot. The Rocky Mountain Power facility is located just south of the station. The station is located at 1480 West North Temple Street, with the island platform in the median of the street.
The Green Line provides service from the Salt Lake City International Airport to West Valley City (via Downtown Salt Lake City), and connects with the rest of the TRAX system, as well as UTA's FrontRunner commuter rail and S Line streetcar. Power station is a light rail station in Salt Lake City, Utah, served by the Green Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX system.
