Summary
Phoenix Deer Valley (DVT) Airport provides general aviation services to the flying public. DVT was recognized as the fifth busiest airport in the world in 2020 as measured by takeoffs and landings. Cutter Aviation is the airport's fixed based operator (FBO), providing fueling services, aircraft maintenance and aircraft hangar storage services to based aircraft as well as transient aircraft that utilize the airport. Cutter is also expanding with the construction of a new hangar which will be used to store additional based and transient aircraft. Sibran Fueling also provides an on-airport self-service fueling option. DVT is home to the City of Phoenix Police Department Air Support Unit. Given the age of the current facility, a new hangar for the Police Department's Air Support Unit is currently in the design phase. Once constructed, the relocation of the Police Air Support Unit will allow the removal of the current hangar and allow access for a new taxiway to be constructed. DVT Hangars, a private development firm, is currently designing a corporate hangar complex on a recently leased parcel. The development also contains a fuel farm that will be used to fuel aircraft assigned to these new hangars.
DVT currently has more than 180 acres of undeveloped land. Aviation staff diligently promote the airport in an effort to generate new aeronautical development. Staff recently contracted with Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) a broker firm currently on an Approved Vendor List with the City of Phoenix to increase the national exposure for aeronautical development opportunities at DVT.
