When 3 Southwest Airline flights were diverted to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in one short time-frame this week, it was a first and much needed! Those flights, all 737’s totaled 173 passengers that were sent to Gateway because of the unusual winds at Sky Harbor. I can imagine pilots and passengers were very happy they had a short distance to land and re-fuel!
Another article appearing today shows the results of an ASU Study and the positive economic impact the airport has generated: 500 million that supported 4500 jobs! Thanks to all those that have supported and continue to see Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport as a major component in making the southeast region of our area a huge asset and for the State of Arizona.
