America's Friendliest Airport

PHOENIX AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD

The Phoenix Aviation Advisory Board (PAAB) is made up of nine members appointed by the Mayor and City Council to four year terms. The Board usually meets monthly to review airport policies. Members make recommendations to the City Council on major airport projects, concession contracts and leases. Board membership is voluntary and members receive no compensation for their services. All major decisions are ultimately made by the Phoenix Mayor and City Council. Before major issues are brought before the Council, they are reviewed by the Board.
