Mesa Gateway Airport

Your Gateway to the Phoenix-Mesa Metro

Mesa Gateway Airport is one of Arizona’s most strategic aviation and aerospace assets — purpose-built for companies that need capacity, connectivity, and room to grow.

Today, global industry leaders such as Textron Aviation, Embraer, Able Aerospace Services, Gulfstream, and Virgin Galactic operate at Gateway Airport.

The airport is adjacent to Arizona State University’s Polytechnic campus and located in the heart of one of the fastest-growing industrial corridors in the nation. Just south of Gateway Airport is the new six-mile Union Pacific Rail Extension, serving major manufacturers including CMC Steel, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, FUJIFilm, and many others. Together, this rare combination of air, rail, freeway access, and university proximity creates a truly multimodal and workforce-connected business environment.

Global Access. Aerospace Strength. Scalable Opportunity.

Generating $1.8 billion in annual economic impact, Gateway Airport supports 10,000+ jobs and 70+ companies across its 3,000-acre campus. With more than 2 million annual travelers, 11 passenger gates, and nonstop service to 45+ destinations, it provides efficient national access and a competitive alternative to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

For aerospace and aviation companies, the differentiator is clear: 600+ acres available for development within an active, high-capacity aviation environment in one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country.

Key Industries

Built for Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing

Gateway Airport is engineered for high-performance operations:
• Three runways (10,400 ft., 10,200 ft., 9,300 ft.) accommodating any aircraft
• FAA Contract Air Traffic Control Tower — second busiest in the U.S.
• 304,000+ annual operations
• 21.5M gallons of fuel pumped annually
• Full navigational infrastructure (VORTAC, ILS, ASR)

The airfield capacity, infrastructure, and year-round flying conditions make Gateway ideal for MRO, aircraft modification, flight testing, advanced manufacturing, pilot training, and aerospace R&D.

Market Access

Strategic Location. Global Advantage.
Gateway sits within a half-mile of Loop 202 and SR 24, providing immediate freeway access to the Greater Phoenix region. The airport’s designations strengthen global competitiveness: Gateway is also home to SkyBridge Arizona, a 363-acre mixed-use development offering millions of square feet for aeronautical, air cargo, and advanced industry projects.

Talent and Education

Workforce at Scale

Five higher education institutions operate directly adjacent to Gateway Airport, including Arizona State University Polytechnic and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, creating a built-in pipeline of engineers, pilots, technicians, and advanced manufacturing talent.
