About This Airport
FedEx Express, UPS Airlines and the belly-hold capacity of Delta Air Lines' hub operation together move roughly 295 million pounds — about 134,000 tonnes — of freight and mail a year through Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC/KSLC), by far the leading air cargo location in Utah. Most of that volume travels as belly cargo on Delta's dense domestic network rather than on dedicated widebody freighters, so capacity for oversized or intercontinental consignments is limited. Ground handling and cargo terminal services are provided by operators such as Air General, alongside carrier stations run by United Cargo, American Airlines Cargo and Alaska Air Cargo. In 2025 Delta Cargo announced an investment of up to USD 18 million, together with the Utah Inland Port Authority and the City of Salt Lake City, in a replacement cargo facility on the airfield. Road connectivity is a genuine strength: Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 intersect immediately beside the airport, and the Utah Inland Port is building rail-and-truck transfer capacity to the north-west. US Customs and Border Protection clears international arrivals at SLC, although many overseas imports are still customs-cleared at the coastal gateways and trucked in. Shippers needing more freighter frequency usually route via Denver International (DEN), some 600 km east, or Los Angeles International (LAX). Typical traffic includes general cargo, pharmaceuticals and medical devices from the Wasatch Front manufacturing belt, plus e-commerce parcels.
