Airpark Forum - Master Plan Improvements

Cleared for Takeoff: Inside the Future of Scottsdale Airport
If you have a stake in the future of one of America's busiest single-runway airports, this is the room you want to be in.

The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce Airpark Forum is bringing together the people shaping the next chapter of Scottsdale Airport (SDL) for an exclusive morning of insight, access, and conversation. With a $1.1 billion annual economic impact on the region, what happens at SDL matters — and this event puts you face-to-face with the decision-makers driving it forward.

Hear directly from:
Rick Wielebski, Aviation Director, City of Scottsdale — With more than 20 years of aviation experience, including a decade as General Manager of Atlantic Aviation at SDL, Wielebski brings both operator-level expertise and institutional vision to the role. He'll walk attendees through the Airport Master Plan Update currently underway, a $1 million FAA-funded initiative to enhance safety and efficiency, prepare for future growth, and position SDL to compete for federal and state funding for major capital improvements. This is the most comprehensive look at the airport's future in nearly a decade.

U.S. Customs Representatives — Learn how SDL's onsite customs facility streamlines the international travel experience, accelerating passenger processing and making Scottsdale a more competitive gateway for global travelers and business aviation.

JSX Airlines — The hop-on jet service is redefining regional air travel from SDL's private terminals. Flying 30-seat jets with business-class legroom, complimentary food and drinks, Starlink Wi-Fi, and planeside baggage retrieval, JSX offers the perks of private aviation booked by the seat at attainable fares. Hear how their SDL operations are changing how the Valley flies.

The Master Plan Update
Funded by an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant alongside state and city matching funds, The Master Plan Update will shape SDL's infrastructure, services, and capacity for years to come. The process includes collaboration with tenants, business partners, airport users, and the public, with a dedicated project website serving as the central hub for updates and community engagement.
Those invested in Scottsdale's economic growth, business aviation, and the future of the Airpark corridor won't want to miss it.
