Deer Valley History

Phoenix Deer Valley AirportDeer Valley Municipal Airport was built in 1960 as a private airfield with a single runway. This simple facility had no control tower and very limited amenities. In 1971, the City of Phoenix purchased the 482 acre site. Operations began inauspiciously, with a temporary air traffic control tower sitting atop a four foot mound of dirt. Locals joked that the mobile unit looked more like a hot dog stand. They were not too far off. The aging piece of equipment was actually being used as a hothouse for growing tomatoes before being called back into service for the airport.

Phoenix Deer Valley AirportIn 1975, a new terminal was constructed and the FAA began directing air traffic. Moving into a modern control tower, the FAA replaced Deer Valley's four hard working radio operators with 26 air traffic controllers. The airport also became home to the Phoenix Police Department who utilize a 12,000 square foot hangar for their citywide helicopter operations.

The Phoenix City Council adopted a Master Plan for the airport in 1986. The plan called for improvements that would enable Deer Valley to accommodate a wider range of aircraft. Lengthening the south runway was its first focus and would allow the airfield to support over 90% of the nation's general aviation fleet. Other major improvements followed, including utility enhancements, storm drain construction, apron paving, extension of the north runway/taxiway system and the addition of hangars and covered tie-downs. In total, $17 million was invested to turn the modest airfield into a modern, full service airport. Since then, an additional 469 T-hangars have been constructed on the airport's north side, and the main runway has been reconstructed. Careful planning and a clean, contemporary design have earned Phoenix Deer Valley recognition as one of the nation's finest general aviation airports.

Today - Deer Valley is classified as a general aviation reliever airport for Sky Harbor. The airport offers a complete range of services including fuel, avionics repair, maintenance, parts, flight training, new and used aircraft sales, aircraft rentals, a pilot shop and a restaurant. It has two fixed-based operators and is home to more than 1,350 aircraft. With over 389,000 takeoffs and landings in 2003, it is the 20th busiest of all U.S. airports, and the 2nd busiest General Aviation Airport in the nation. Phoenix Deer Valley Airport is a vital component of the City of Phoenix airport system.
