The Aeronautics Group, part of ADOT's Multimodal Planning Division, develops the Five-Year Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) to parallel the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Capital Improvement Program and the ADOT Highway's Program with the dual objective of maximizing the effective use of State dollars for airport development, while maximizing FAA funding for Arizona airports. This ACIP document is formatted into four sections: Program Overview; Airport Development Program by Fiscal Year; Alphabetical Listing of Projects by Sponsor Name; and a Summary of Project Totals by Fiscal Year. Although subprogram categories are not listed, the individual information is retained in the state's Aviation Database.

Over the past 15 years, the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport has been in a continual planning and development program, responding to the dynamic air travel market in the Phoenix metropolitan area. A study was done to develop a phased, revenue generating land use and ground transportation plan for an approximate 660 acre parcel, with an adjoining 31 acre privately-owned parcel, both located in the Northeast Area of the Airport. This report presents the analysis, findings, and recommendations in support of those objectives.

This update of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Master Plan has been undertaken to evaluate the airport's capabilities and role, to review forecasts of future aviation demand, and to plan for the timely development of new or expanded facilities that may be required to meet that demand. The ultimate goal of the master plan is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport's overall development, maintenance, and operation.
