We do not fund private airport development.

Arizona has 83 airports in the State System Plan: 58 publicly owned airports, 14 Native American airports and 11 privately owned airports.

Here is a fact sheet about the FAA and filing Low-Flying Aircraft Complaints.

The U.S. Department of Transportation oversees airline consumer issues such as denied boarding, lost baggage, overbooking, ticketing and statistics for on-time performance. This information, as well as information about shipping hazardous materials and other general travel-related questions are addressed at the USDOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division website.

There are more than 6,539 registered aircraft based in the state and 17,986 licensed pilots.

All aircraft based in Arizona must be registered with the Motor Vehicle Division. Registration must be accomplished within 60 days of purchase or lease of an aircraft or no more than 60 days after an aircraft is brought into the state. Aircraft registration must be renewed no later than the last day of February.

Terms and conditions are the same whether the property is sold by direct sale or at an auction. All property is sold "as is, where is." All due diligence must be done by the buyer prior to presenting an offer, or prior to the auction. The buyer is responsible for obtaining financing. Escrow will be for no more than 60 days. The buyer pays all escrow costs and must sign an Environmental Release Form. The purchase agreement and any escrow instructions are not assignable until escrow has closed.

An auction is required when ADOT receives a second offer to purchase during the 30-day notice period mentioned above. This is a public auction. Anyone can bid, provided they present prior to the commencement of bidding a cashier’s check or money order in the amount of 10-percent of ADOT’s asking price or $100,000, whichever is less, as an earnest deposit and also complete and sign the ADOT Bidder Form. A separate cashier’s check or money order and Bidder Form are required for each property to be bid on. Bidding is open and the property will sell to the highest bidder.

If no other offer to purchase is made to ADOT within the 30-day notice period, the property is sold to the original offeror upon expiration of the 30-day period.
