Airport Master Plan
The Falcon Field Airport Master Plan is a
comprehensive analysis of current and future airport
infrastructure needs and alternatives with the
purpose of providing direction for the future
development of this facility. The primary objective
of the Airport Master Plan is to produce a long-term
development program which will yield a safe,
efficient, economical and environmentally compliant
air transportation facility.
The Airport Master Plan provides a phased outline of
the proposed developments so that the City, Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT) can
strategically plan for future infrastructure
improvements. It is typical for airports to
periodically update their Master Plan.
The City of Mesa recognizes the challenges inherent
in providing for the future aviation needs as well
as the importance of Falcon Field to the community,
particularly in view of the dramatic changes
occurring in both the aviation industry and in the
Phoenix metropolitan area. The cost of maintaining a
viable airport is an investment which yields
impressive benefits to a community. By maintaining a
sound, flexible Master Plan, Falcon Field will
continue to be an economic asset and a source of
pride for the City of Mesa.
In 2007, the City selected the firm of
Coffman Associates
to prepare the Airport Master Plan Update. The
previous plan update was completed in 1992. The
Falcon Field Airport Master Plan is a cooperative
effort between the City of Mesa; the Arizona
Department of Transportation, Aeronautics Division (ADOT);
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); the
community; airport tenants and users; and other key
stakeholders. The Mesa City Council approved the
plan update in November 2009.
