AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT
Phoenix Sky Harbor serves more than 100,000 passengers, with 1,500 flights per day, and a daily economic impact that surpases $72 million for the Phoenix metro area. We take pride in meeting the needs of our region’s thriving population, and planned improvements will add to our ability to remain America’s Friendliest Airport™.
In 10 years, five million people are projected to live in the Valley and six million by 2020. In 2007, Sky Harbor served about 42 million passengers and the Airport expects more than 50 million annual passengers by 2015.
Sky Harbor will need more terminal space and parking, better roads, airfield improvements, and options for moving people and airplanes around the Airport more quickly. To keep pace with the Valley’s growth, the Phoenix airport system has more than 150 projects budgeted at more than $600 million that are underway or recently completed. Upcoming improvements to Sky Harbor are often referred to as the Airport Development Plan.
