S.L. Airport ranks 8th best in U.S.

Salt Lake City International Airport was ranked the eighth-best airport in the United States in Conde Nast Traveler magazine's Business Travel Awards, featured in the October issue.

The annual survey asks 2,500 business travelers about their experiences with issues such as location, access, customs, baggage, food, shops, amenities, safety and security. Portland International Airport in Oregon ranked No. 1, the magazine said Thursday.

An equal number of men and women were surveyed. Twenty-five percent of the people surveyed travel two or more months each year. Ten percent travel overseas more than five times a year.
