Delta customers will have a new, convenient way to access El Paso, Texas with new nonstop service from the airline's hub at Salt Lake City International Airport beginning Oct. 1.
"Transportation is essential to a growing community such as ours, we welcome the investments that our airline partners are making in El Paso to improve the connectivity of our great city," Mayor Dee Margo said.
Delta's Salt Lake City hub offers customers more than 250 daily departures to 90 destinations across the Intermountain West, West Coast, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada and Europe, bringing the world to El Paso International Airport with easy, one-stop connections.
The new service will complement existing Delta flying of three peak-day departures from El Paso with global connections via the airline's hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

"The timing of Delta's inaugural nonstop service from SLC to El Paso couldn't be better," said Bill Wyatt, executive director — Salt Lake City International Airport. "This new service is just in time for visitors to enjoy Utah's fall splendor and to plan a winter vacation to ski the greatest snow on earth."
