Salt Lake City International Airport Terminal Redevelopment ...

CHAPTER 1 PURPOSE AND NEED
this delay in perspective, per operation, a minute of delay costs an average of about $24 for
the aircraft currently operating at the Airport. As the number of aircraft operations grow,
the total cost of delay will increase. By 2025, each minute of excess delay per operation
would cost aircraft operators a total of over $11 million per year.

1.4.2 Vehicular Circulation
The existing Airport entry and exit roadways provide adequate capacity to accommodate
the estimated demand through the forecast period. Entry and exit roadways are expected to
operate at LOS C, an acceptable LOS, or better through 2025. In contrast, the Terminal Two
Arrivals curbside, Terminal Two Departures curbside, and rental car exit and road operate
at LOS D during both morning and afternoon peak periods. These conditions are expected
to worsen to LOS E, an unsatisfactory operating condition, by 2025. Additionally, the
through lanes on the Arrivals roadways at Terminal Two are expected to experience LOS F
