Aeronautics Division
The primary purpose of the Utah Division of Aeronautics is to lead and manage a statewide transportation system of airports, aircraft, and air routes. The Division of Aeronautics’ Mission is to enhance quality of life through transportation. We promote the quality of life framework established by the UVision for good health, better mobility, a strong economy, and connected communities. We accomplish this through six core functions: airport system planning, aviation rule making, airport project funding, aircraft registration, aviation promotion, and aviation safety.

2020 Aviation Development Strategy
To guide the Utah airport system and measure how airports contribute to the economy, the Utah Division of Aeronautics created the Aviation Development Strategy. Included is a Statewide Aviation System Plan and Statewide Economic Impact Study for our 46 public use airports. This report provides a summary of important findings and highlights the economic contribution that the airport system generates for the state economy. The airport roles and a summary of the investment required for each airport to fulfill its needs and objectives is provided. All economic impacts estimated in this study reflect pre-COVID conditions.
