Some Salt Lake flights will have a shuttle to the gate
(Rick Egan | Tribune file photo) The new tower and concourse at Salt Lake City International Airport is pictured on Sept. 23, 2019.For the next nine months or so, passengers on about 46 flights per day at Salt Lake City International Airport will take shuttles to their airplanes parked on the tarmac.
The airport began such operations on Monday in preparation to begin demolition next week on a long arm of Concourse E as part of the massive $3.6 billion project to rebuild the airport in place.
It affects mostly smaller regional aircraft that had flown out of Concourse E. Passengers will wait at a gate, present tickets and board a bus to their airplane, said airport spokeswoman Nancy Volmer.
