“The east Valley market continues to grow, with more than 1.5 million people living within a 20-minute drive of the airport,” Mesa Mayor John Giles, who chairs the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority, said in the release. “Our continued partnership with WestJet is great news for Gateway Airport and the east Valley.
