Phoenix, Arizona Mayor Kate Gallego and members of the Phoenix City Council have voted to send the Airport\u2019s Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (CAMP) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review and approval. The Mayor and Council approved the Airport\u2019s roadmap for the future during the June 11, 2019 Policy Session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the largest\neconomic engine in the state. Each year, it brings more than $38 billion to the\neconomy and creates 58,000 jobs. The Airport provides vital opportunities for\nbusinesses both large and small, and it is critical that the Airport has the\nfacilities and services to serve the region well into the future. CAMP is a\nroadmap necessary for America\u2019s Friendliest Airport\u00ae to be able to meet this\nfuture demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The long-term plan includes: Moving cargo and support\noperations to the north side of the Airport to create room for expanded terminal\nfacilities; working with the Union Pacific Railroad to partially trench the\ntrack and build a taxiway bridge so that planes can access the relocated cargo\noperations; and providing space for the Air National Guard 161st Refueling Wing\nto expand on the south side of the Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
America\u2019s Friendliest Airport\u00ae strives to not only provide\nworld-class customer service, but world-class facilities including a variety of\nfood and retail options as well as access to charging stations. To continue to\nprovide modern facilities to meet customer demand and meet its goal, the\nAirport will also need to renovate some of its older space in Terminal 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sky Harbor\u2019s central location, increased vehicle traffic,\nand security requirements have resulted in a need to make adjustments to its\nroadway system. As part of Sky Harbor\u2019s pathway to the future, the Airport is\nalso examining ways to improve Sky Harbor Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each individual project in this plan will need to be approved by the Phoenix City Council. And the airport roadmap is designed to be phased incrementally, so that each portion is built when demand warrants. All projects would be paid for through grants, airport revenues, facility charges and bonds. No local tax dollars would be utilized.\u00c2\u00a0 For more information on CAMP, please visit skyharbor.com\/camp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phoenix, Arizona Mayor Kate Gallego and members of the Phoenix City Council have voted to send the Airport\u2019s Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (CAMP) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for review and approval.
