In December, 115 businesses deposited $626,000 towards the Airline Travel Bank™ to secure air service to Salt Lake City International. The Travel Bank represents pre-paid travel committed by businesses and is designed to assure Delta that it will have passengers during the critical 12 month start up period for airlines.
