Scottsdale Airport is among the busiest general aviation airports in the United States and one of very few business-aviation airports inside a major metropolitan area. The City of Scottsdale’s own airport master plan forecasts charter passenger growth of 8.8 percent a year, roughly three times the rate it projects for total airport operations.
