Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Hosts Airport Development Forum

Phoenix-Mesa (Arizona) Gateway Airport Authority (PMGAA) recently hosted international and national airport developers, operators and investors, as well as other aviation-related companies for a three-day event designed to create awareness and educate aviation industry leaders about development opportunities available at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The event was part of the airport authority's proactive planning for future development of more than 1,000 acres of aeronautical and non-aeronautical land located adjacent to the airport's runways and roadways.
As part of a strategic initiative called enVision Gateway, representatives from companies in Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Puerto Rico, and across the United States were provided helicopter and bus tours of the Phoenix East Valley so they could experience first-hand the growing strength of the region's thriving economy. In addition to learning about development opportunities at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, attendees also heard presentations from leadership of the Arizona Commerce Authority, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Maricopa Association of Governments, and a panel of East Valley Economic Development Directors. At the conclusion of formal programming, select attendees participated in one-on-one meetings with airport staff and state/regional officials to discuss development opportunities in greater detail.

"We are pleased that so many industry leaders representing aviation companies around the globe were able to join us for our enVision Gateway event," said PMGAA Executive Director/CEO Jane Morris, A.A.E. "Many in attendance were surprised by Greater Phoenix's robust economy and impressed with the facilities and infrastructure available at Gateway Airport. The airport looks forward to continuing the dialogues started during the event."
