Introduction

Phoenix Airport (PHX), the sixth-busiest airport in the USA, is the principal gateway for Phoenix, capital of Arizona. Located surprisingly close to the city center, the airport gives easy access to the wealth of first-rate hotels and resorts that flourish in Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun.

Every year 40 million passengers travel between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, about 40 other US destinations and 16 cities in Canada, Mexico, and Europe. More than 18 airlines serve PHX airport: it is a major hub.

Situated only three miles (five kilometers) from the center of Phoenix, PHX Airport offers extensive parking and ground transportation options. But many improvements are planned or underway, so people driving to the airport should expect traffic delays. Typically, say airport authorities, drivers should add 15 minutes to a journey time to compensate.

Though just minutes away from the central business district, the airport also provides convenient access to relaxing resort hotels, high quality golf courses and the Arizona cities of Tucson, Prescott, Sedona, and Flagstaff. Many travelers use Sky Harbor International en route to Arizona's rich heritage of historic Native American sites, green forests, stony deserts, and national parks, which include the Grand Canyon.
