| May 31, 2008 |  View for printing |
A new transportation era in Salt Lake City will begin in the wee hours of Monday morning.
At 2:20 a.m., while most Salt Lakers are slumbering, a Delta Air Lines jet will lift off from Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris bound for Utah's capital, 5,100 air miles and nearly 12 hours away.
Flight 171, a Boeing 767-300 ER airplane carrying nearly 200 passengers, will pass over England and Ireland, brush by southern Greenland and cross Canada's Hudson Bay before entering U.S. airspace and landing at Salt Lake City International Airport at 1:50 p.m.
