When it comes to large airports in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Delta Air Lines is most closely associated with Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), where it operates a major hub.
But the airline just made a significant investment in another major Western airport, and it’s not in Utah.

At 13,000 square feet and with space for up to 230 guests, Delta’s DEN lounge has now approximately tripled in size—and it’s not done growing.
