Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (IATA: PHX, ICAO: KPHX, FAA LID: PHX) is located in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona and is the largest and busiest airport in the state of Arizona, followed by Tucson International Airport.

Overview

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a joint civil-military public airport located 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of the central business district of the city of Phoenix, in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is Arizona's main international airport and the largest commercial airport in the American Southwest.

Sky Harbor has been operating under its current name since prior to 1935, when it was purchased by the city of Phoenix. In the 1950s, it was serviced by four airline carriers (American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, the original Frontier Airlines, and United Airlines). Today, the airport is the primary regional hub and Mexico gateway for Tempe-based US Airways (the airport’s largest operator), the third largest hub for domestic commuter, Great Lakes Airlines and is also the third-largest focus city for Southwest Airlines (the airport's second largest operator). Since beginning service in 1982, Southwest Airlines has grown to capture more than 34% of the market share. Since 1990, Southwest Airlines traffic from Phoenix has increased more than 352%.

Both, US Airways and Southwest Airlines currently operate out of Sky Harbor's Terminal 4, which handles about 80% of the traffic through the airport.

British Airways provides the airport's only nonstop service outside of North America to London-Heathrow. US Airways and Hawaiian Airlines offer non-stop service outside the Continental United States to Hawaii. US Airways and Aeroméxico Connect offer non-stop service to cities in Mexico and US Airways, Air Canada, and WestJet offer non-stop service to parts of Canada, while US Airways alone, offers non-stop service to parts of Alaska and Central America. US Airways is expected to begin nonstop service between Phoenix and Tokyo-Narita in 2012 utilizing an Airbus A330-200 series aircraft, which, if launched, would be the first nonstop route between Phoenix and Asia, but second proposed route to Asia; as back in 1989, America West Airlines offered a nonstop route to Nagoya using one of their few Boeing 747’s, but was denied Government Approval due to the submission of Chapter 11 bankruptcy by the airline, which cancelled all Hawaiian and Asian routes for the airline. America West instead, offered one-stop service to Tokyo-Narita via Honolulu after they recovered from bankruptcy.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records show the airport had 20,315,544 commercial passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2005 and 20,591,906 enplanements in 2006.

In 2008, the airport served 39,891,193 passengers, making it the ninth busiest in the United States, in terms of passengers, today the airport is recorded as the ninth busiest in the United States and one of the top 15 busiest airports in the world with a 90 million dollar daily economic impact. On a daily basis the airport handles about 1,486 aircraft that arrive and depart, along with 108,887 passengers daily, and more than 600 tons of cargo handled.

Because of Phoenix's consistent wind patterns, Sky Harbor is one of the largest airports in the world to have all runways running parallel (in the east-west direction).

Sky Harbor's private airplane area also serves as one of eight service centers for the Medevac airline Air Evac.

Control tower

The airport's current 326-foot (99-meter) tall air traffic control tower began operations on January 14, 2007. The tower stands just east of the Terminal 3 parking garage, and also houses the Phoenix TRACON. This is Sky Harbor's third control tower.

Terminals

The airport has over 120 aircraft gates in three Terminals (2, 3, 4). Terminal 1, the original terminal from 1952, was torn down in 1990 and replaced by a cell phone waiting lot. The airport administration states that the designation Terminal 1 has been "retired", and that it did not wish to renumber the other terminals since passengers were already familiar with the numbers in place. Free wireless internet access is available in all terminals.

Terminal 2

Terminal 2 has 9 gates (numbered unconsecutively 1-13 and two additional lettered gates C & D) and three parking slots. It was designed by the Phoenix architectural firm, Weaver & Drover and opened in 1962. This terminal includes a mural by French-American artist Paul Coze. In November 2006, a Military and Veterans Hospitality Room, sponsored by the Phoenix Military and Veterans Commission, was opened in Terminal 2.

Terminal 3

Terminal 3 opened in 1979 and has 17 gates, separated into two concourses by a central building outside of security. The south concourse houses gates 2–9 and the north concourse houses gates 15-26. Its only lounge - Delta's Crown Room Club - was closed on April 30, 2008.

Terminal 4 (Barry M. Goldwater Terminal)

Terminal 4 has more than 90 gates, divided into seven satellite concourses connected behind security. Three northern concourses (gates A1-A14, A17-A30, B1-B14) serve US Airways and US Airways Express exclusively. The northeastern concourse "B" houses the international gates (B23-B28). The three southern concourses (gates C1-C10, C11-C20, D1-D8) serve Southwest Airlines exclusively.

The terminal, opened in 1990, is named after former Arizona Senator and 1964 Presidential candidate Barry M. Goldwater. The terminal was originally built with four concourses: N2 and N3 on the north side and S3 and S4 on the south side. In 1994, the N4 International Concourse was opened, adding 10 new gates and a sterile walkway connecting it to the S4 concourse. In 1997, construction began on the 14-gate N1 concourse, for America West Airlines. It was completed in June 1998 at a cost of $50 million, completing the expansion of the north side of the terminal. On the south side of the terminal, construction began in 2002 on the eight-gate S2 concourse for Southwest Airlines. This project was completed in 2004 and features a different architectural design from the other six concourses. As of 2008, the S1 project is still in the preliminary phases of design. The project calls for an eight-gate facility comprising of a 38,500 sq ft (3,580 m) passenger level and 32,000 sq ft (3,000 m) apron. A later phase of this project may include a 47,000 sq ft (4,400 m) basement. Additionally, a walkway connecting to the N1 concourse will be built. The city of Phoenix has not yet indicated what carrier will occupy the new concourse.

Other Services

PHX is also home to Sky Harbor Air National Guard Base and its host wing, the 161st Air Refueling Wing (161 ARW), an Air Mobility Command (AMC)-gained unit of the Arizona Air National Guard. One of two flying units in the Arizona ANG, the 161 ARW currently flies the KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft. In addition to its domestic role as a National Guard unit, answering to the Governor of Arizona, the 161 ARW also performs both a stateside and overseas role as a USAF organization, supporting air refueling and air mobility missions worldwide.

Located on the south side of the airport, the current Sky Harbor ANGB is a comparatively new facility. As a result of growth and on-going expansion programs at PHX, a new ANG base was planned at the airport to replace a smaller, outmoded facility that stood in the way of airport construction. Plans were finally approved in 1995 and the new base was built during the latter part of that decade. The current Sky Harbor ANGB includes over 275,000 square feet (25,500 m) of facilities, pavement, and infrastructure and is one of the most modern facilities of its kind in the Air National Guard.

Over 1000 Air National Guard personnel are assigned to the 161 ARW, consisting of a combination of full-time Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) and Air Reserve Technician (ART) personnel, as well as part-time "traditional" air national guardsmen.
