Support Sky Harbor Coalition
The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a major component of the metropolitan Phoenix and Arizona economies, creating jobs, income and revenues both at the airport itself and in the communities it services. Sky Harbor provides economic access to the markets of the nation and the world, making the "Valley of the Sun" a prime destination for both business and leisure travelers. In fact, Sky Harbor provides a $38 billion per year economic impact. As a result, valley businesses and residents interested in the continued success of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport formed the Support Sky Harbor Coalition.
The Support Sky Harbor Coalition, formed in 2002, is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization. The Coalition strives to educate the public about the economic benefits and quality of life advantages Sky Harbor brings to the people of Arizona and is dedicated to supporting the continued development of the airport and the enhancement of its existing operations. As the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area continues to grow, it is extremely important that we support the vital services and growth of Sky Harbor, which serves the traveling public and goods.
