Departure Airports We Use

Salt Lake City has two practical private aviation departure points that allow us to move you quickly, whether you are based in the city, the southern suburbs along the Wasatch Front, or the communities to the north toward Ogden.

• Salt Lake City Municipal Airport (U42) — Located 6 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City in the South Salt Lake area, U42 is a dedicated general aviation facility with no commercial traffic and direct ramp access, making it the primary private charter departure point for most clients in the central metro.
• Ogden-Hinckley Airport (OGD) — Situated 35 miles north of Salt Lake City in Ogden, OGD supports general aviation and limited commercial operations and is the most practical departure option for clients based in the northern Wasatch Front communities including Ogden, Layton, and Clearfield.

Why Private Charter Over Commercial From Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City International Airport is the primary hub for Delta Air Lines in the Mountain West and handles a significant volume of connecting traffic for the region. During winter snowstorms along the Wasatch Front, which can arrive quickly and severely, SLC is vulnerable to ground delays, deicing backlogs, and cascading cancellations that strand connecting passengers for hours. The airport's position at the base of the Wasatch Mountains also makes it susceptible to wind shear and low visibility events that commercial schedules cannot easily absorb. When conditions or operational failures leave you without a commercial option, private departure offers a faster and more reliable path out.

Flying private from Salt Lake City means:

• No commercial terminals or TSA queues
• No rebooking or waitlists
• Direct access to your aircraft on arrival
• Departure on your schedule, not the airline's
