EspañolPHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(Redirected from Sky Harbor International Airport)
'Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport' is a public airport located three miles (5 km) east of the central business district of Phoenix, a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is Arizona's main international airport and one of the largest aviation facilities in the American Southwest. Currently, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the ninth busiest airport in the United States in terms of traffic.
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 companies. Today, the airport is the home base for Tempe-based US Airways, and is also the third-largest departure point for Southwest Airlines, the airport's second largest operator. Since beginning service in 1982 Southwest has grown to capture more than 34 percent of the market share. Since 1990, Southwest traffic from PHX has increased more than 352 percent.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 20,315,544 commercial passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2005 and 20,591,906 enplanements in 2006.[1]
In 2006, the airport served 41.4 million passengers, making it the eighth busiest in the United States[2], and eighteenth busiest airport in the world,[3] in terms of passengers. Currently, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the eight busiest airport in the United States in terms of traffic, and the eighteenth in the world with 41,439,819 passengers passing through the airport in 2006; a 0.5% change from 2005. [4] On a daily basis the airport handles 1,486 aircraft that arrive and depart, along with 108,887 passengers daily. Sky Harbor has grown so rapidly that Phoenix is in the process of utilizing Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa as a secondary airport.
Sky Harbor's private airplane area also serves as one of eight service centers for the Medevac airline Air Evac.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport provides 121 aircraft gates throughout 3 Terminals (2, 3, 4). Terminal 1, the original terminal from 1952, was torn down in 1990. The airport administration states that the designation Terminal 1 has been "retired," similar to the number of a famous athlete, and that it did not wish to renumber the other terminals since passengers were already familiar with the numbers in place.
For complete information on flights to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, please see the airport's Flights and Information Page[1].
Free wireless Internet access is available in all terminals.
The new ATC tower at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport began operations at midnight on January 14, 2007, and is currently the world's fifth tallest control tower after Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Munich and Atlanta, at 335 feet. The new tower stands just east of Terminal 3.
Terminal 2, opened in 1962, provides 17 gates on 1 concourse (C, D, 1A, 1B, 2 - 5, 6A, 6B, 7 - 13), and the Red Carpet Club, operated by United Airlines. In November 2006, a Military and Veterans Hospitality Room was opened on the mezzanine level of Terminal 2. The Hospitality Room is sponsored by the Phoenix Military and Veterans Commission.

On 23 February 2007 Sky Harbor became the first airport to operationally use Backscatter X-ray technologies for screening passengers.[5] This technology allows screeners to tell if passengers are carrying hidden weapons, explosives or drugs by allowing them to see through passengers' clothing. For this reason, these devices, which are available both as freestanding equipment and mobile 'cameras' have been dubbed 'naked machines' by some civil rights advocates[6] concerned that the devices essentially show screeners nude images of passengers and have been deployed without making passengers aware of this infringement on their privacy.
Sky Harbor has not had any major accidents occur at or near the airport. On August 16, 1987, Northwest Airlines Flight 255, which was flying from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport to John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California, with an intermediate stop at Sky Harbor, crashed on takeoff in Detroit, killing all of the passengers – including a large number of Phoenix-area residents – except for a young girl.
