   Scottsdale Airport seeks input on Strategic Business Plan

Residents and businesses are invited to provide input for the Scottsdale Airport Strategic Business Plan. The goal of the business plan is to ultimately determine the focus and guidance for future planning and development at the airport.

Four potential business scenarios for the airport have been developed to determine the best approach to keep Scottsdale Airport efficient and effective and providing long-term benefits to the city and surrounding community.

The four scenarios are:

• Scenario 1 – Market focus – small to mid-size corporate jets; reflects current operations
• Scenario 2 – Market focus – small to mid-size corporate jets with adjusted administrative weight restriction; current operations plus an increase to the aircraft weight limit from 75,000 to 100,000 lbs
• Scenario 3 – Market focus – small to large-sized corporate jets; current operations plus larger corporate jets
• Scenario 4 – Market focus – commuter air service; current operations plus scheduled passenger/commuter service

Residents are encouraged to attend one of the Airport Advisory Commission meetings to provide input on the four options. The meetings are scheduled for 6 p.m. on either Wednesday, June 10, or Wednesday July 8, at the Scottsdale Airport Terminal, 15000 N. Airport Drive. A City Council work study session is also tentatively scheduled for June 23.

If you are unable to attend one of the Commission meetings you also can provide input by calling (480) 312-2549 or e-mailing, airportsbp@scottsdaleaz.gov
