Airport of the Year Award from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
This item is for
information only. No City Council action

Back-up included in
Council packet/City Clerk's Office.
Action Taken:
Deputy City Manager
David Krietor provided a brief overview of the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport. Mr. Krietor stated Phoenix has a long-standing record of providing
regional leadership in aviation. He
noted the recent investment in the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and the long-standing relationship with the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport.
Mr. Krietor introduced Assistant Aviation Director Carl Newman,
Deputy Aviation Director Becky Gawin, General
Aviation Supervisor Barney Helmick and Goodyear Vice Mayor Rob Antoniak.
Mr. Newman
indicated Phoenix owns Deer Valley Airport in the northwest valley and Phoenix-Goodyear Airport in the west valley. He noted the City of Phoenix acquired Goodyear Airport in 1968 and since then it has become an
important general aviation airport for the west valley. Mr. Newman stated the airport has developed a
reputation for excellent customer service and community relations, especially
during high profile events such as the NASCAR races in March and November of
each year in addition to the recent Super Bowl in February.
Mr. Newman
indicated as a result of the management and innovative programs, the
Phoenix-Goodyear airport recently received the 2007 Airport of the Year Award
from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Mayor Gordon
inquired about the legal ownership or relationship status of Phoenix-Mesa
Gateway, Deer Valley and Phoenix-Goodyear airports for the
viewing audience. Mr. Newman indicated the
City of Phoenix has a 30% interest in Phoenix-Mesa, and a
100% interest in Deer Valley and Phoenix-Goodyear airports.
Ms. Gawin stated the award from the state’s Aeronautic Division
recognizes accomplishments in the area of community relations, airport
management, airport maintenance activities in addition to innovative activities
and programs implemented at the airport.
She introduced Mr. Helmick to discuss
Goodyear’s accomplishments, which led to the award.
Mr. Helmick stated the Phoenix-Goodyear airport was unique in
terms of being owned by the City of Phoenix, but physically located in the City of Goodyear. He
added staff continues to focus significant effort on collaboration with the
City of Goodyear to ensure the airport develops in a way that
supports the community needs and desires.
Mr. Helmick indicated the airport currently has one 8,500 foot
runway and operates between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. He
noted the airport is operated by 12 City employees and has been able to
accomplish a great deal with minimal staffing levels.
Mr. Helmick stated there are two major tenants at the
airport. He noted Air Turbine operates
large commercial maintenance operations and is one of the larger west valley
employers with 85 employees. He stated
the second tenant is the Airline Training Center of Arizona and provides flight
training services for the German-based Lufthansa Airlines and the German Air
Force. He indicated the students live in
dorms on the facility and the center has been in operation since 1992.
Mr. Helmick indicated in 2007 an airport master plan process
was completed with the assistance of the City of Goodyear. He
noted the master plan is intended to be a proactive document which identifies
and then plans for future facilities/needs well in advance. He stated a sound master plan would help
Phoenix-Goodyear airport maintain its role as an important link to the national
air transportation system.
Mr. Helmick stated the airport attracted its first fixed-based
operator to provide aeronautical services to the tenants in addition to a
safety action team and a driver training program for the tenants. He acknowledged staff for taking ownership in
the airport and working hard each day to ensure the airport reflects positively
on both the City of Phoenix and the City of Goodyear.
Vice Mayor Antoniak wanted to acknowledge Mr. Helmick’s
leadership in handling various issues in and around the airport. He noted the great partnership with Luke Air
Force Base, City of Phoenix and others. He stated there is
continued growth west of the airport with one university signing a 99-year
lease, a second private university ready to sign a lease and two baseball teams
that hold spring training. He thanked
the Mayor and Council for giving him the opportunity to visit and stressed the
value of the partnership.
Mayor Gordon
inquired if the adoption of the height ordinance in Phoenix was similar to Goodyear. Mr. Newman indicated there is an overlay
district or zone in existence around the Goodyear airport and staff is working
with the City of Goodyear and others to further define the requirement.
Mayor Gordon wanted
to know how Phoenix
Sky Harbor compared to Phoenix-Goodyear in terms of the
runways. Mr. Newman indicated the
shortest runway at Phoenix
Sky Harbor is approximately 7,900 feet and the longest
is approximately 11,200 feet. He noted
the runway at Phoenix-Goodyear definitely measures up to Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.
Mr. Krietor stated the Phoenix-Goodyear runway is comparable in
width to Phoenix Sky Harbor and Phoenix-Mesa runways. He noted any flying aircraft could
essentially land at the Phoenix-Goodyear airport.
Mayor Gordon
inquired about physical assets at the Phoenix-Goodyear airport.
Mr. Helmick noted there are five dormitories for the German
students with Lufthansa and the German Air Force.
Mayor Gordon asked
if there were hangars for the aircraft.
Mr. Helmick indicated there are hangars which
house 77 single-engine aircraft for the students.
Vice Mayor Antoniak indicated Mr. Helmick’s
staff has the opportunity to comment on every land-use decision within the
influence area of the airport. He also
noted the City of Goodyear has stipulated within King Ranch the posting of a third street sign above every street sign to indicate the
influence area of Phoenix-Goodyear airport for homebuyers. He stated the City has initiated the
annexation south of the airport to protect a landing strip utilized by
Lufthansa to protect the land-use around the training strip.
Councilman Mattox
inquired about the hours of operation.
Mr. Helmick indicated the airport is in
operation for 24 hours each day, but staff will generally be available between
the stated hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. He
noted a security personnel is onsite when staff is not available.
Councilman Mattox
inquired about the new fixed-based operator.
Mr. Helmick stated the fixed-based operator is
Sun Western Flyers. He noted Sun Western
Flyers operates facilities in Yuma, Imperial Valley in California and Glendale airport.
Mayor Gordon wanted
to know if there could be potential conflict with the fixed-based
operator. Mr. Newman indicated the
Business and Properties Division of the Aviation Department is working
extensively to prevent any conflicts. He
noted staff works regularly with the City of Glendale as well as the manager at the Glendale airport to curtail any possibilities of
conflict.
Mr. Newman stated
the economic development section from the City of Goodyear was involved in discussions with the
fixed-based operator to ensure a level of business activity at the Goodyear
airport is competitive with activity at the Glendale airport.
