History

Beginnings

Charles Lindbergh piloted his plane, The Spirit of St. Louis, to the airport, then called Woodward Field, in 1927. In 1930, the airport was renamed the Salt Lake City Municipal Airport, with 400 acres (1.6 km²) of land and 11 hangars.

1960–1980

After seven years and $8 million, Terminal 1 was dedicated in 1960. The airport was renamed in 1968, and given its current name of Salt Lake City International Airport. Terminal 2 was completed in 1978 and housed Western Airlines

1980-present

Delta Air Lines and Western Airlines merged in 1987, and their operations were expanded at the airport.

On August 31, 1988, Delta Air Lines Flight 1411, which was bound for Salt Lake City International Airport from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport near Dallas, Texas, crashed after takeoff from Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Two of seven crew members and twelve of 101 passengers perished.

Wingpointe, the airport's 18-hole golf course and a four level parking terrace was added in 1991. Firestation #11 was relocated with the opening in 1999 of the Federal Aviation Administration's new air traffic control tower.
