Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has been sharing updates and celebrations related to its 90th anniversary through a series of tweets. These announcements highlight ongoing events and historical reflections on the airport's journey since its acquisition by the city of Phoenix.
On February 20, 2025, the airport announced an event as part of its "Music Through the Decades" celebration. "Continuing our 90th celebration with 'Music Through the Decades,' will feature our Traveling Tunes artist Dominic Smith performing in Terminal 4, Level 3, near the pre-security food court from 9-11 a.m."
Later that day, another tweet commemorated the historical significance of Sky Harbor Airport's acquisition by Phoenix. "This year, we’re celebrating 90 years since the city of Phoenix purchased Sky Harbor Airport. Here’s an aerial comparison of Sky Harbor Airport in 1932 just a few years before the city’s purchase compared to today." The post was accompanied by an aerial comparison image showing changes over time.
On February 21, 2025, travelers were advised to anticipate potential disruptions due to planned closures. "Watch for these closures as you make your way to the airport this weekend." This advisory aimed to inform passengers about possible delays or rerouting while accessing airport facilities.
