BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
During the April 18, 2022 Regular Council Meeting, Council requested a Work Session be held with a representative of the GYR staff. The requested purpose for the Work Session is to provide a brief history of the airport, collaborations and partnerships with the airport, and future plans of the airport. The current Airport Master Plan was completed in 2018. At the February 26, 2018 Goodyear City Council Meeting the Council recommended approval of the Master Plan to the City of Phoenix.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The GYR is owned and operated by the City of Phoenix Aviation Department. GYR is a general aviation reliever airport as defined by the FAA. As such, the airport does not provide commercial passenger air service. The role of the airport as a general aviation reliever airport is not expected to change during the 20-year planning horizon of the 2018 Airport Master Plan.
