The Town of Buckeye is located along Interstate Highway 10 in the
southwestern portion of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area in Maricopa
County, Arizona. The Town of Buckeye is poised for substantial
growth. By 2025, over 345,000 residents are expected in the Town
of Buckeye which now only totals 14,000 residents. The Buckeye
Municipal Airport Master Plan was developed with this growth mind and
proposes a plan to increase capacity to meet long term facility
needs. The Airport Master Plan includes a 3,200-foot extension to
the primary runway to accommodate business and corporate aircraft
needs. A parallel runway is planned to segregate larger corporate
aircraft and smaller training and recreational general aviation
activity. A terminal area was designed that provides for the
demands of very light jets providing air taxi services. Finally,
the on-airport land use plan provided for significant revenue
enhancement possibilities by providing for non-airfield access revenue
parcels along the busy Palo Verde Road corridor.
