About Phoenix Deer Valley
Airport
Phoenix Deer Valley Airport is a general aviation reliever airport
for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The airport is home
to more than 1,250 based aircraft and had more than 352,000 takeoffs
and landings in 2004.
Deer Valley History
Deer
Valley Municipal Airport was built in 1960 as a private airfield
with a single runway. This simple facility had no control tower
and very limited amenities. In 1971, the City of Phoenix purchased
the 482 acre site. Operations began inauspiciously, with a temporary
air traffic control tower sitting atop a four foot mound of dirt.
Locals joked that the mobile unit looked more like a hot dog stand.
They were not too far off. The aging piece of equipment was actually
being used as a hothouse for growing tomatoes before being called
back into service for the airport.
In 1975,
a new terminal was constructed and the FAA began directing air traffic.
Moving into a modern control tower, the FAA replaced Deer Valley's
four hard working radio operators with 26 air traffic controllers.
The airport also became home to the Phoenix Police Department who
utilize a 12,000 square foot hangar for their citywide helicopter
operations.
The Phoenix City Council adopted a Master Plan for the airport
in 1986. The plan called for improvements that would enable Deer
Valley to accommodate a wider range of aircraft. Lengthening the
south runway was its first focus and would allow the airfield to
support over 90% of the nation's general aviation fleet. Other major
improvements followed, including utility enhancements, storm drain
construction, apron paving, extension of the north runway/taxiway
system and the addition of hangars and covered tie-downs. In total,
$17 million was invested to turn the modest airfield into a modern,
full service airport. Since then, an additional 469 T-hangars have
been constructed on the airport's north side, and the main runway
has been reconstructed. Careful planning and a clean, contemporary
design have earned Phoenix Deer Valley recognition as one of the
nation's finest general aviation airports.
Today - Deer Valley is classified as a general aviation reliever
airport for Sky Harbor. The airport offers a complete range of services
including fuel, avionics repair, maintenance, parts, flight training,
new and used aircraft sales, aircraft rentals, a pilot shop and
a restaurant. It has two fixed-based operators and is home to more
than 1,350 aircraft. With over 389,000 takeoffs and landings in
2003, it is the 20th busiest of all U.S. airports, and the 2nd busiest
General Aviation Airport in the nation. Phoenix Deer Valley Airport
is a vital component of the City of Phoenix airport system.
