Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport welcomed more than 1.9 million passengers in the last fiscal year, a 5.6 percent increase over the previous year’s numbers, which was the record.
Airport officials said in a release this week that seven of 12 months had record-setting passenger activity.
“The growth of Gateway Airport over the past few years has been phenomenal,” said Apache Junction Mayor Chip Wilson, chairman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority board of directors.
“The airport’s continued growth is providing tremendous economic benefit for the entire greater Phoenix region. We look forward to welcoming even more sun-seeking visitors through the airport this year.”
The airport in the past year opened several new food and beverage concessions, including a new Macayo’s Mexican Food restaurant and two new Infusion Coffee and Tea Crafters.
The airport is building a five-gate, 30,000-square-foot terminal addition and an enclosed pedestrian walkway connecting the airline ticket counters to the TSA security screening checkpoint. Both projects will be complete in early 2024, officials said.
