As an expert in the travel industry, I am often asked about the best airport options for those traveling to Scottsdale. The answer is simple: Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is the closest major airport to Scottsdale and the main facility serving the area. Located just 10 miles west of Old Town Scottsdale, Sky Harbor offers nonstop service to and from over 140 cities around the world. For those traveling by private or corporate jet, Scottdale Airport is a top choice. This airport offers two excellent FBOs (fixed-base operators) and a convenient location in the city center.
And for those looking for a regional option, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is located 30 miles east of Scottsdale and offers limited service on Allegiant, Swoop, and WestJet. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a major hub with 24 airlines offering nonstop flights to over 120 domestic destinations and 24 international destinations.
