Delta Air Lines will invest $18 million to renovate a former USPS building at Salt Lake City Airport into a 48,000 sq ft cargo facility with refrigerated storage, warehousing, shipping/receiving zones, offices and a customer lobby. The cold‑chain hub, developed with local partners, is due to open in 2027.

Briefing
The $18 million, 48,000 sq ft facility adds dedicated refrigerated storage and end‑to‑end handling capacity for temperature‑sensitive freight (pharmaceuticals, perishables), improving throughput and reliability for Delta and shippers at SLC.
This on‑airport investment boosts local logistics infrastructure and operational efficiency, aligning with broader industry moves to expand on‑airport capacity (see the airport MRO expansion in Dallas Love Field) and Delta's wider push into airport supply‑chain integration such as its recent SAF uplift partnership in Portland.
