Tuesday marked the two-year anniversary since the Salt Lake City International Airport switched operations from its old terminal to its new one. "This is a true milestone of 12 million hours that you've all put in," he told them. "Those eight years kind of run together and you kind of lose sight over what we've done." "To sit here and think about what we've done over the past eight years is truly incredible," he said, standing on a stage and looking out toward a sea of construction workers as commercial aircraft arrived and departed from the airport they built. They constructed a new international airport from scratch - one that's quickly growing in leaps and bounds after just two years of operation.
