Airport Master Plan
The Falcon Field Airport Master Plan (1992) was a
cooperative effort between the City of Mesa; the
Arizona Department of Transportation, Aeronautics
Division (ADOT), and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). The master plan is a
comprehensive analysis of airport 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
step-by-step, or phased, outline of the proposed
developments, and gives airport and city officials
advanced notice of future needs to aid in scheduling
and budgeting.
Airport Master Plan Update (2007)
It is typical for airports to periodically update
their planning. 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. The airport will conduct an airport master
plan update starting in early 2007. This
project is anticipated to last between 12-15 months.
The city has selected the firm of
Coffman Associates
to conduct the Airport Master Plan update.
Coffman Associates was responsible for the last
update in 1992. The current master plan
updated the previous 1978 master plan. Visit
