PHOENIX GOODYEAR AIRPORTS: HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
On July 1, 1968, the City of Phoenix Aviation Department bought and began operating Litchfield Airport. The facility was built in 1943 and was originally operated by the United States Navy. At that time, the field served as a support facility to the adjoining Aircraft Division of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
The Navy expanded the airport in 1951 for military aircraft storage. This was the airfield's mission until 1965, when the General Services Administration took over operations, intending to eventually phase out the facility. However, the airport's future was secured when the City of Phoenix bought the facility.
Since obtaining ownership, the Aviation Department has transformed Phoenix Goodyear into a general aviation airport serving the needs of western Maricopa County. The airport is included in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airport System Integrated Plan and is classified as a reliever airport to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Goodyear is home to more then 175 based aircraft.
The City of Phoenix has made numerous improvements at Phoenix Goodyear, including new T-hangars, ramp space, tie-downs and an upgraded airfield.
The major tenants at Phoenix Goodyear are Airline Training Center of Arizona (ATC), which provides basic flight training for pilots destined for careers with Lufthansa and other air carriers and Dimension Aviation which provides maintenance and modifications to transport aircraft.
