As the calendar moves to winter and the weather in Utah turns colder, activity at Atlantic Aviation Salt Lake City begins to heat up. The facility is located within 45 minutes of more than 10 ski resorts, including the famous Snowbird, which is little more than a half-hour drive, and the arrival of snow means “long days of aircraft arrivals, departures, deicing, and the kickoff to the busiest season in GA traffic for us,” explained Brandon Leindl, the location’s general manager.
Atlantic has had a presence at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) since 2015, when it won an RFP as the second service provider on the field. It moved in to a terminal formerly occupied by the Salt Lake Jet Center, even as it planned to eventually demolish it to make way for a new facility. As Atlantic began servicing aircraft that December, it also began to renovate the nearby vacant Hangar 4 and its ramp, which it would move to the following year, as it started clearing away the older terminal. In 2017, the temporary facility handled 5,000 GA and business aircraft.
