Phoenix Sky Harbor Breaks Record
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport made history in 2024 when it broke the record for the number of passengers in a single year.
In 2024, 52,325,266 passengers traveled through Phoenix Sky Harbor. That’s a 7.5 percent increase over 2023’s then-record number of total passengers.
This is the first time PHX has hurdled the 50 million passenger mark in a year. The airport held an event in mid-December to recognize the 50 millionth passenger to travel through Phoenix Sky Harbor in 2024.
Phoenix Sky Harbor also welcomed new, innovative concessions like Fan Shop by PGA Tour with its in-store golf simulator; the Coca-Cola Lounge and Popshop featuring vegan and gluten-free delights by The Healthy Voyager; and the much-anticipated Sapphire Lounge by The Club in Terminal 3.
