When it comes to business travel, time is money — and most days, there's not a second to waste.
And for professionals across Utah's ever-expanding Silicon Slopes corridor and beyond, Utah County's Provo Airport is making a major difference in the efficiency — and efficacy — of the day-to-day business travel grind.
Business travel is all about optimizing your time, and the Provo airport has been curated with that in mind.
With lightning-fast check-ins, minimal lines and convenient flight options from three different airlines, the Provo Airport is quickly becoming the smart choice for time-conscious travelers who value efficiency and ease.
Here are just a few reasons why you should consider the Provo Airport for your next business or personal trip across the proverbial pond — whether that be Utah Lake or the Pacific Ocean is up to you.
A smarter start to your trip
If you've ever dreaded waiting in a potential mile-long security line, you'll appreciate that the Provo Airport often has security wait times under one minute.
Yes, you read that right: you can be at your gate in just minutes.
Compared to the national average of about 15 minutes (or more) of waiting at larger airports, as reported by Melissa Fleur Afshar of Newsweek, it's easy to see the appeal of this Provo gem.
And that difference adds up — especially for busy professionals with already stretched schedules or those trying to maximize time between meetings.
From parking to boarding, Provo's streamlined experience helps travelers skip the hassle and focus on more pressing matters at hand — like their job.
Big reach, small airport convenience
While the Provo Airport may be smaller than its Salt Lake counterpart, it punches far above its weight when it comes to connectivity.
"With one connection, you can fly anywhere in the world from Provo," said airport representatives. "Last October, Provo welcomed oneworld Alliance carrier, American Airlines to join Allegiant Air and Breeze Airways, opening up the most travel opportunities in PVU history, including worldwide destinations.
American now connects Provo directly to major hubs, where passengers can easily reach over 350 destinations in more than 60 countries," said their website.
That kind of international reach — combined with the comfort, convenience and small town feel of a regional airport — makes Provo an attractive option for any traveler going across the country — and beyond.
Supporting Utah's growing economy
The Provo Airport isn't just convenient — it's also a key contributor to the local and state economy.
According to recent estimates by Provo.gov, the airport generates more than $200 million in annual economic impact.
That impact reflects not only the travelers and airlines using the airport, but also the growing ecosystem of hotels, restaurants, transportation services and local businesses that benefit from the increased connectivity that the Provo Airport offers the Silicon Slopes area.
For companies across the Wasatch Front — particularly those in the Silicon Slopes corridor — that economic boost translates into better access, greater visibility and new opportunities for business growth and collaboration, even across the world.
Designed with productivity in mind
Just because you're traveling doesn't mean you're relegated to being offline in the process.
The Provo Airport's terminal has been thoughtfully designed to help individuals and professionals stay connected and productive while on the move.
Inside, travelers will find a free, high-speed internet connection, ample charging stations and comfortable seating areas ideal for working while you wait to board.
Whether you're finishing a presentation, catching up on emails or taking a quick call before boarding, the Provo Airport is an ideal travel hub, built for focus and efficiency, just like a regular day at the office.
Convenience meets connection
Located just minutes from I-15, the Provo Airport offers easy access for travelers throughout Utah County.
For most, that means less than a 30-minute drive, and potentially only a few minutes after that before you're through security.
Add to that a range of parking options close to the gates and short boarding times and you can see why so many professionals — and even families — are choosing to fly from Provo.
Whether it's a family vacation, a weekend getaway or visiting clients and colleagues before that big meeting, travelers can enjoy a smoother experience from start to finish at the Provo Airport.
A better way to travel
In Utah's dynamic business landscape, efficiency, connectivity and production are key.
The Provo Airport can help deliver on all three of these by helping travelers spend less time in traffic and lines, and more time where it counts: building your business.
As Utah County continues to grow, the airport's role as a hub for business travel will also expand.
Where it's already proven to be a valuable asset for companies across the valley, those who appreciate the ability to travel smarter and faster will find the Provo Airport is a must when it comes time to get out of town, no matter the reason.
So, whether you're flying out for a quick client meeting or catching a connection for somewhere international, consider starting your journey a little closer to home next time at the Provo Airport.
As the Provo Airport website says, "Anywhere you want to go — fly Provo."
