Main points included were: • Salt Lake a Key Long-term Focus on Delta • Delta Capacity Up Over 30% Since 2004 • Delta Brings World Class In-Flight Product to SLC • Delta and Partners Provide Unrivaled International Connectivity • Strong Partnerships Expand Delta’s Reach • Branded Fares Improve Customer Choice • Delta is Investing in the Customer experience Mayor Biskupski asked if the new fleet is improving Delta’s carbon footprint. This is a concern to residents because a bigger airport is being built and Salt Lake City is in a valley. Mr. Esposito responded the newer fleet is lighter and more fuel efficient, using less fuel per seat. He added Delta isn’t increasing flights out of Salt Lake City as much as it is increasing seats by offering larger, more efficient planes, which decreases overall pollution per seat. C. Mike Williams, Airport Redevelopment Program (ARP) Director, briefed the Board regarding the site tour.
