Phoenix moves ahead with plans for new Sky Harbor Airport terminal
(City of Phoenix)

INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
The Phoenix City Council moving ahead with plans to build a new terminal on the west side of Sky Harbor Airport.
City officials recently heard about the need to build the new terminal to accommodate growth, according to a release.
“Phoenix Sky Harbor is busier than ever, which is why we’ll soon need a new terminal to accommodate our growth,” Mayor Kate Gallego said.
“The council and I are moving forward with plans to build a cutting-edge terminal at the airport’s west end. The new expansion is years in the making, and I am looking forward to the continued work to turn our shared vision into reality.”
The new terminal will be built on the west side of the airport campus near where the former terminals 1 and 2 were located. Terminal 1 closed in 1990, and terminal 2 closed in 2020. Both were demolished. This will be the first new terminal construction since Terminal 4 opened in 1990, the release stated.
Details of the terminal design are taking place, and planning and environmental preparation will take several years.
Construction is not anticipated to begin until after 2030, city officials said.
The project will be paid for with passenger facility charges, bonds and airport funding. No tax dollars will be used, according to Phoenix officials.
