Phoenix International Airport

The airport of the American city Phoenix, the capital of the American state Arizona, is called in full Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This airport, in the southwest of the United States, proudly carries the title ‘America’s Friendliest Airport’. It's one of the larger airports in the US and processes almost 40 million passengers per year. It's unusual that the three runways of Phoenix Airport run parallel to each other (in east-west direction). This is due to the main wind direction in Phoenix.
