Finally, non-Delta customers will get a club at SLC airport

The airport’s third club is due to come on line with the final gate expansion of concourse B.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake City International Airport on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024. Passengers are due to have another club option after the final gate expansion is completed on the B concourse.

It’s not all Delta anymore. Club United is right around the corner.

The Salt Lake City International Airport has plans to install a 6,700-square-foot space on concourse B that will house a new club for United Airlines. The club will be part of a 16-gate expansion slated to open in coming years and will be located at the far-east end of the concourse, where the Chicago-based airline will operate five gates.

When it opens, it will be the airport’s third club, and the first for non-Delta Air Lines customers.

United did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment. The company also did not respond to questions about when the club will open or what it will offer. For their part, airport officials expect the club to open in October 2026, when the gate expansion is due for completion.

Delta opened its first Sky Club — then the company’s largest at 28,000 square feet — when the new airport took flight in 2020. The Atlanta-based carrier has plans to open an equally large club on concourse B next year.

The 16-gate eastern expansion of concourse B that will feature the new United club will mark the airport’s final phase of passenger-facing growth before officials embark on building an entirely new C concourse.

In October, travelers will see the next major milestone for the airport when officials unveil the Central Tunnel, the project that will shorten the much-criticized walk to the B gates.
