Special Needs

Sky Harbor is one of the most accessible airports in the world thanks to the advice provided by the Phoenix Mayor’s Commission on Disabilities. All terminals have: curb cuts; automatic doors; elevators; ramped access to all lobbies and gate areas; designated areas on inner curbs for vehicles with disability plates to load or unload; and wheelchair accessible telephones, automatic teller machines, restrooms and drinking fountains.
