These announcements come as Phoenix Sky Harbor continues to expand both its services and leadership team. In August 2022, Breeze Airways began offering service from Phoenix to Charleston and Provo twice weekly (source). Around the same time, Roxann Favors was named Assistant Director/Chief Revenue Officer of the City of Phoenix Aviation Department (source), while Jay DeWitt was appointed Assistant Director/Chief Development Officer to oversee planning and development functions within the department (source).
