The recent $4 billion expansion of Salt Lake City International Airport stands as a testament to our state’s ambitious growth. In 2002, Utah's GDP was $78 billion. By 2023, it had surged to $259 billion—a clear sign that Utah is open for business and thriving.

https://lnkd.in/et_tvVdA At COP29 we often find ourselves citing the Chicago Convention that was signed in 1944: "WHEREAS the future development of international civil aviation can greatly help to create and preserve friendship and understanding among the nations and peoples of the world, yet its abuse can become a threat to the general security; and   WHEREAS it is desirable to avoid friction and to promote that co-operation between nations and peoples upon which the peace of the world depends;   THEREFORE, the undersigned governments having agreed on certain principles and arrangements in order that international civil aviation may be developed in a safe and orderly manner and that international air transport services may be established on the basis of equality of opportunity and operated soundly and economically; Have accordingly concluded this Convention to that end." This inspired group of people saw clearly as early as in 1944 that air transport is essential for peace and prosperity, and that its delivery must be based on equality of opportunity, and be operated soundly and economically. At COP29 in 2024, this still holds true.
