Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Require Face Masks

The health and safety of customers and employees is Phoenix Sky Harbor’s top priority.

Effective June 1, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will require all employees and members of the public entering public airport facilities, including the terminals, the Rental Car Center, the PHX Sky Train®, and Airport buses to wear a face covering. In concert with major airlines, the TSA, airports across the country including Seattle, Denver, LAX, New York’s JFK, Boston Logan, Miami, and even companies such as Uber, everyone in public airport facilities will be required to cover their noses and mouths.

Travelers, employees, and those visiting the airport should bring their own mask to wear throughout the airport. Several airport stores are currently selling facial coverings with more stores to offer additional options soon, according to Heather Shelbrack, Public Information Manager with the City of Phoenix Aviation Department.
