American Airlines serviced almost 46 % of all passengers in 2017 at PHX and employed approximately 9,500 people.

Sky Harbor Airport covers approximately 3,400 acres/1,400 ha of land, and here you will find three runways, which can accommodate aircraft that have a maximum takeoff weight of 900,000 lb./410,000 kg. The three runways are all controlled from the air traffic control tower at Sky Harbor Airport. The air traffic control tower is 326 ft./99 m tall and it began to operate on January 14, 2007. The control tower is located east of the Terminal 3 parking garage.

Sky Harbor Airport serves three terminals and up to 116 aircraft gates. The three terminals are Terminals; 2, 3, and 4. The reason behind the odd numbers of the passenger terminals is due to the fact that the airport’s designated Terminal 1 is no longer in use. However, the airport administration states did not wish to re-number the other terminals because they meant that all passengers were now familiar with the numbers given to the remaining terminals.
