Title
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Comprehensive Asset Management Plan
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to submit an updated Airport Layout Plan to the Federal Aviation Administration for the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Comprehensive Asset Management Plan, as needed, based on recent implementation planning.
Report
Summary
Since the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (CAMP) was adopted in 2019, a multitude of changes have impacted the implementation of CAMP. Of particular note, negotiations with Union Pacific Railroad have not advanced and the Air National Guard no longer believes replacement of their refueling aircraft will occur in the near term. Moreover, COVID-19 has affected various aspects of both aero- and non-aeronautical demand. Given these changes, the Aviation Department determined it appropriate to revalidate and update the 2019 CAMP to ensure near term objectives remained appropriate. Staff conducted outreach and incorporated feedback from stakeholders including airlines, cargo operators and the Federal Aviation Administration. The update to CAMP emphasizes seven key projects over the next five years:
- A second north concourse at Terminal 3 and related processor improvements;
- A post-security passenger connector between Terminal 3 and Terminal 4;
- A cross-airfield taxiway (Taxiway U);
- Reuse of a Terminal 2 support building;
- A runway extension to balance runway usage and optimize airport capacity;
- Sky Harbor Boulevard improvements to address roadway congestion; and
- A new on-airport hotel in the terminal core that is proposed to be privately developed, owned, and managed.
Staff anticipates that three projects: Taxiway U; second concourse at Terminal 3; and the Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 connector would be eligible for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to support construction.
A CAMP Implementation Summary Map is included in Attachment A.
