Three days later, on August 18, Phoenix Sky Harbor reflected on its legacy with another post: “Sky Harbor’s name has been adding magic to travel since 1928, when we were informally known as ‘The Farm.’ It’s one of the 90 things people love about PHX!

Also on August 18, the airport promoted a public art initiative at Terminal 3: “Experience ¡Sombra!

Phoenix Sky Harbor has experienced several notable developments in recent years. In August 2022, Breeze Airways announced new services from Phoenix to Charleston and Provo operating out of Terminal 3 twice weekly (source). That same month saw key leadership appointments within the City of Phoenix Aviation Department: Roxann Favors was named Assistant Director/Chief Revenue Officer (source) and Jay DeWitt became Assistant Director/Chief Development Officer (source).
These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to celebrate its history while introducing new programs for travelers and expanding service offerings.
