Provo Airport set to break ground on expansion, adding six new gates
PROVO, Utah () — The Provo Airport is getting ready to start its next chapter – expanding to include more gates, more space for aircraft, and more opportunities for travel for Utah County residents.
City and airport officials will break ground on a three-year expansion project on Monday, April 14. An open house presenting the Provo Airport Master plan will then be held at 5 p.m. that evening in the airport's view lounge.
The expansion will begin with construction on the airport's apron – an area of the tarmac where aircraft can be parked, boarded, and refueled. This expansion is scheduled to be completed by November 2025.
Next, the current terminal will expand from four gates to have a total of 10 with three new gates on both the north and south sides. Airport officials expect the new terminals to open by late 2028.
'The Provo Airport is more than a runway – it's a runway to the future,' said Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi. 'This expansion positions PVU not just as a regional airport but as a vital part of Utah's growing transportation network – ready to welcome the world, including visitors for the 2034 Winter Olympics.'
The Provo Airport reportedly saw a historic year in 2024 with nearly 900,000 passengers passing through its gate. To accommodate Utah County's growing population and the increase in passengers, the County Commission recently over a 15-year period – including $19.5 million up-front.
To oversee the airport's continued growth, Utah County established a dedicated department, directed by Brian Torgersen, who previously served as the Provo Airport Division Director since 2019.
Under Torgersen, the airport has from Allegiant and Breeze as well as American Airlines.
''Anywhere You Want To Go – Fly Provo' isn't just a slogan. It's a promise,' said Torgersen. 'Travelers from PVU can now enjoy easy access to over 270 global destinations, both domestic and international. And the connectivity will only improve with our expansion from four gates to ten gates.'
Mayor Kaufusi affirmed that as Provo continues to grow, the airport will keep pace, striving to offer residents and visitors an accessible alternative.

Athena Capital announces new board, headlined by Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn
Olympic gold-medalist and alpine skiing legend Lindsey Vonn is no stranger to going downhill—but she's soon going to be focused on making investors' wealth climb. Supersonic air travel gets green light in U.S. after 50-year ban lifted Why you're catching the 'ick' so easily, according to science How to Watch George Clooney's Broadway play 'Good Night, and Good Luck' live for free Vonn is joining the newly formed advisory board at Athena Capital, an all-female venture capital and private equity firm. Isabelle Freidheim, the founder and managing partner of Athena Capital, says that she and Vonn have been acquainted for some time, as Freidheim had been involved with the U.S. Olympic Committee, and had met with her at numerous conferences over the years. 'I was always impressed with how genuine she is,' Freidheim says of Vonn. Accordingly, 'Bringing someone like Lindsey in, who is like-minded and mission-aligned, brings more enthusiasm to the firm.' As such, 'we're very excited to announce her joining our board.' Vonn is an active investor and businesswoman, but is best known for her exploits on the slopes, which include three Olympic medals, eight World Championships, and more. She is also planning a comeback for the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Cortina, Italy. The comeback is notable as Vonn, now 40 years old, has recovered from a partial knee replacement as well. So, in addition to her board duties, she'll be giving the Olympics one last shot, but she's confident she can balance the two. 'Athena's mission is something that deeply resonates with me, so I was excited to get on board. When I commit to something, I do everything in my power to approach it to the absolute best of my ability. Even though the next year will be busy, I feel strongly about my role as a board member just as I do about my athletic career,' Vonn tells Fast Company. 'Competitive skiing is all about operating under pressure and being precise with your every move. It requires extensive knowledge and training to be successful in the sport. That's very similar to what venture capitalists do: evaluating potential, taking calculated risks, and trying to stay on top of everything you're doing. Both require a sharpness and tenacity, and I think a similar competitive mindset exists between the two.' With her interest and experience in the investment space, Freidheim says that having Vonn join the board made sense. 'Lindsey's been an investor for quite some time already, and is pretty astute. She has a high profile,' she says. Freidheim says that other members of the board will be announced one by one, on an ongoing basis. In the meantime, Vonn will focus on skiing—and trying to make some noise on the slopes in addition to the boardroom. 'I felt better skiing this past season than I did at the end of my career, and I am without pain for the first time in years,' she says. 'When I retired in 2019, it was of necessity. My body was broken beyond repair, so I knew it was a choice I had to make, but it wasn't fully on my terms. Competing in another Olympics in Cortina would feel full-circle.'
