It's 2025, time to gaze at our amazing state yet again. Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is on cloud nine or flying through cloud nine and with good reason. According to the aviation analytics gurus at Cirium, our beloved SLC Airport isn't just the top dog in the nation for punctuality, it's also strutting its stuff globally, ranking fourth worldwide.

For the uninitiated, who've never had to sleep on the floor of an airport as they wait for their plane, this means that 84% of departures and a whopping 85% of arrivals at SLC were perfectly on-time last year. Take that, world. SLC is the rockstar airport where delays are as rare as a snowstorm in St. George.

Let's give a shout-out to our home state. From the breathtaking landscapes to our top-notch “get-it-done” attitude, we've always known we're special. Now we can add "Punctual Travel Hub" to our brag list. Let's face it, Utah keeps showing up as a “can-do” state, and our efficiency seems as unparalleled as our scenery.
