Mesa District 5 Shares Falcon Field Airport Update

by David Luna August 1, 2019
written by David Luna August 1, 2019

Falcon Field Airport, an economic hub located in District 5, has shared the following information about the results of its recently updated Airport Master Plan. Since 1941, Falcon Field Airport has played a significant role in the City and the Master Plan paves the way for the future.

Airport Master Plan

In 2017, the Mesa City Council accepted grants from the Federal Aviation Administration and Arizona Department of Transportation to help fund an update to the Falcon Field Airport Master Plan. The Master Plan is a comprehensive analysis of airport infrastructure needs based upon current and future forecasts of airport activity. It provides direction for future development of the airport over the next 10 to 20 years, focusing on safety, efficiency, economic development and environmental compliance. Coffman Associates was hired to complete the update, and the Mesa City Council approved the Master Plan on July 8, 2019.

Economic Benefits

As part of the Master Plan, an Economic Benefit Analysis was conducted by Arizona State University. The results illustrate the significant economic asset that Falcon Field is to Mesa and the region. For example, Falcon Field contributes:

  • Over $2.2 million in daily economic benefits
  • Over $811 million in annual economic benefits
  • 1,486 on-airport jobs with a payroll of more than $104 million at the 110 on-airport businesses

More jobs and annual economic benefit than any other general aviation airport in the Phoenix area, including Scottsdale, Chandler, and Phoenix-Deer Valley airports

When the Boeing Company, located adjacent to Falcon Field, is included, the annual economic benefit increases to $6.8 billion.

Airport Facts and Forecasts

  • Over 700 aircraft are currently based at Falcon Field; 960 based aircraft are forecast in 2037.
  • Over $27 million in airport capital improvements are planned over the next several years (not including capital investments made by airport tenants and users).
  • In 2018, Falcon Field was the fifth most active general aviation airport in the United States.
  • Falcon Field is financially self-sustaining and does not receive any money from the City General Fund to operate.

Falcon Field Airport truly is the gem of District 5.
