PHOENIX — Changes are coming to Mesa’s Falcon Field Airport.

Over 30 hangars are under construction, according to recent announcement from the city.

Specifically, two big projects are underway at the airport, which is south of McDowell Road and east of Greenfield Road.

  • Falcon 12 Aviation Center: This complex will consist of 14 high-end executive hangars.

These addition will expand the airport’s offerings from its current 166 executive-style hangars, according to Airport Administration Manager Dee Anne Thomas.
