Delta celebrated the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art pilot training facility in Salt Lake City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, attended by Delta leaders, Salt Lake City-based employees, local government officials and community members. 

Located near the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), the facility is Delta’s latest investment in a key network hub and its first significant training facility investment outside of its Atlanta headquarters, which opened its first pilot training facility in 1968.

“This 50,000-square-foot training center is really about the future,” said John Laughter, E.V.P. and Chief of Operations. “There’s a great opportunity to improve not only great quality of training, but quality of life, too, and have our pilots have a really great training center to come to here.”

The new facility will boost pilot training capacity and provide a closer, more convenient location for pilots in Delta’s western hubs. With thousands of pilots routed into the city for extended stays during training cycles throughout the year, the facility will also support the local economy.
