Phoenix gateway Mesa
Mesa Gateway Airport is a public airport in Mesa, Arizona, about 20 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix. Its commercial passenger code is AZA, while the FAA identifier is IWA. The airport is a major secondary airport for the Phoenix metropolitan area and serves as a lower-cost alternative to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).
The airport also serves as a diversion opportunity for military aircraft, as well as a cross-country training stop for military and civilian aviation crews. A quick stop here provided an abundance of aviation activity. Its long runways, lighter congestion compared with Sky Harbor, and historical ties to the former Williams Air Force Base make it particularly attractive for aviation enthusiasts and ferry or training flights.
