Coverage takes in new and dropped routes, airport terminal and runway projects, schedule changes, and the delays and cancellations that ripple through the local travel market. It reaches the airport and the flights arriving and departing from it, along with the travelers who depend on them across the Phoenix metro area. Summer heat and monsoon-season storms regularly disrupt schedules, so weather-driven delays are reported alongside airline-caused ones. Passenger fee changes and consumer-protection rules are the constraints that most often shape what fliers pay and what they can expect.
