Phoenix-Mesa
Gateway Airport (IWA) continues to see numerous construction projects in
and around the airfield. Fourteen destinations are currently served nonstop
from this Phoenix area airport. For construction update information at IWA, refer to the information page
located on the official IWA website located here: http://www.phxmesagateway.org/content/PND/ConstructionUpdates.pdf
The
free parking area north of the airport along Airlane Road used by many to watch
operations at PHX has been fenced recently. Currently, during the daylight
hours a gate to this parking area has been left unlocked allowing parking for
aircraft observation. It is unclear at this time if this will become a permanent
situation. Construction continues on numerous other
projects in and around the airport. Many
of these projects may affect spotting / photographing and driving in and around
the airport. Information on construction projects
can be found on the official Sky Harbor website "Pardon our Dust"
page located here:
