Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) today announced American Airlines as the primary airline carrier for its future West Terminal, the airport’s first new terminal in nearly 40 years.
As Phoenix’s largest airline, American accounts for approximately 40% of Sky Harbor traffic and serves more than 20 million customers annually. The airline operates more than 300 peak daily departures from PHX to more than 100 destinations, connecting Arizona and the broader Southwest to destinations across North America, Hawaii, Europe and beyond.
American and its predecessors have served Phoenix since 1930 and have helped shape Sky Harbor into the aviation hub it is today, including the introduction of the region’s first scheduled jet service in 1960 with the arrival of the Boeing 707. The West Terminal marks the latest investment in American’s continued confidence in Phoenix as one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities and an increasingly important gateway to the world.
