Falcon Field

Falcon Field Airport is among the first airports in the country to receive a new FAA-funded safety system that gives air traffic controllers real-time visibility of aircraft and vehicle movements on the airfield. News release 👉 my.mesaaz.gov/49SrqlP

Our Ops team conducts runway inspections twice daily to check for Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and pavement conditions like cracks, spalling, or heaving. They also inspect airfield lighting, signage, markings, and navigational aids, like PAPIs and wind cones.

Missing last week’s rain? Our ops team captured this sunset over the airfield on Thursday, January 8, just as the storm cleared and the skies began to dry out. For you to enjoy ❤️
