Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport attracts manufacturer aircraft testing
Over the past few months, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport has welcomed five large flight-test groups for manufacturers including Boeing, Mitsubishi, Bombardier and Embraer, according to a press release.
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is owned and operated by the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority. The authority consists of representation from Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Gila River Indian Community, Phoenix and Apache Junction.
Gateway Airport has emerged as an industry favorite for testing because of a mix of perfect conditions, including three 10,000-foot runways, a newly reconstructed ramp, large conference rooms, open airspace and ideal weather.
