Phoenix Airport System Drives $44 Billion Economic Impact
Arizona’s strongest economic engine is the Phoenix Airport System, which includes Phoenix Sky Harbor, Phoenix Deer Valley, and Phoenix Goodyear airports. Together, these airports generate $44.3 billion in annual economic output, support more than 245,000 jobs, and pay $14.8 billion in wages across the state.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is the largest contributor within the system. It alone creates $13.3 billion in direct economic activity and provides more than 47,000 jobs at the airport, making it a major driver of growth and employment in Arizona.
