Summary
Phoenix Sky Harbor just landed ninth in the U.S. for best airports, thanks to improved service scores—but globally it slipped to 73rd, hurt by lower on-time performance and crowded conditions. A government shutdown last fall slashed air traffic control staffing, crimping flight schedules across the board. Still, Phoenix shines as a well-maintained hub, even if it’s packed with long lines.
