Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport recently opened a new eighth concourse at Terminal 4.
Southwest Airlines solely will occupy the 275,000-square-foot, eight-gate concourse.
“This is our next era in Phoenix, with new gates that bring a greatly improved experience for our Customers and Employees, and gives Southwest room to grow at Sky Harbor,” Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan said. “Our four-decade partnership with Phoenix continues evolving with larger spaces in the terminal, expanded Maintenance Hangar facility, and strengthening partnerships with local organizations that share our focus on driving economic, environmental, and social impact in Phoenix and across the state.”
The concourse features a variety of customer amenities such as a family restroom, a nursing room, an animal relief area, charging stations in every seat, and hearing loop connectivity which will allow those with hearing devices to connect to the public address system.
In addition, the concourse will feature shops, restaurants, and a common-use airport lounge. The shops, restaurants, and lounge have yet to open. Customers can purchase food and beverages at retail kiosks until the restaurants open.
Southwest Airlines leaders, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, Phoenix City Council members, and other local leaders attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
