Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has issued several updates on its official Twitter account regarding ongoing projects, recognition in national awards, and staff achievements.
On September 5, 2025, the airport announced the closure of Buckeye Rd between Copperhead Dr and 25th Pl for the Taxiway U Project. The post stated: “Buckeye Rd (Copperhead Dr to 25th Pl) is currently closed until further notice for Taxiway U Project work at PHX. Terminal access is NOT affected. This project improves airfield safety/operations. Use detours and download the Taxiway U app. Info: https://t.co/7jj05l1SXT https://t.co/9twy5Kfz2O”. The airport emphasized that terminal access remains unaffected during construction.
On September 8, 2025, Phoenix Sky Harbor shared its participation in a national competition by posting: “PHX is in the running for 5 categories in the USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards including Best Large Airport. Vote daily through Oct. 6 and help us reach the top .” The voting period continues through October 6.
Later that day, another tweet highlighted an employee’s long-standing contributions to the airport’s operations: “Zeino D. has been helping PHX shine for 22 years . He’s led teams, boosted morale and even won an FAA contest with a solar energy design. Here’s to Zeino and to 90 years of Sky Harbor: https://t.co/vyzpHvuv8n https://t.co/QavDLxEzg4”.
These announcements come as Phoenix Sky Harbor continues to expand its services and leadership team. In August 2022, Breeze Airways began operating new routes from Phoenix to Charleston, South Carolina, and Provo, Utah from Terminal 3 with twice-weekly flights (source). Additionally, Roxann Favors was appointed Assistant Director and Chief Revenue Officer for the City of Phoenix Aviation Department in early September after nearly two decades of management experience (source). Jay DeWitt also joined as Assistant Director and Chief Development Officer overseeing key divisions such as Planning and Environmental as well as Design and Construction Services (source).
