Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is rapidly becoming the gateway to the Southwest.

Since 1995, developing the international air service market for Phoenix has been a top priority. The results have been significant. On July 1, 1996, British Airways began daily nonstop service between Phoenix and London's Gatwick Airport. Air Canada began daily nonstop service between Phoenix and Toronto, Canada on May 5th, 1997. In addition to several coastal cities in Mexico, America West Airlines now offers nonstop service to Monterrey, Mexico and to San Jose, Costa Rica. The Arizona based carrier also offers nonstop flights to Calgary and Edmonton, Canada. Backed by the Aviation Department's aggressive international marketing strategy, Phoenix Sky Harbor has brought the entire state of Arizona to the world.
