House proclaims Jan. 27 as Arizona Aviation Day, recognizes airport representatives
Summary
The Arizona House of Representatives on Jan. 27, 2025 read a proclamation recognizing Arizona Aviation Day and welcomed airport officials and industry representatives to the gallery.
The Arizona House of Representatives read a proclamation on Jan. 27, 2025 designating Jan. 27 as Arizona Aviation Day and recognized airport and aviation-industry guests from across the state.
Representative Leo Biasucci introduced the proclamation and thanked aviation workers and industry stakeholders for their contributions to travel, commerce and emergency response. The session record shows representatives of multiple airports stood for recognition, including staff from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Tucson Airport Authority, Phoenix Mesa Gateway, Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Prescott Regional Airport and others. The Arizona Airports Association was cited as sponsoring the day of legislative meetings.
The proclamation text read on the floor listed the state's inventory of public-use airports and the role of aviation in Arizona’s economy and emergency response. The reading included figures for the number of public-use airports (reported as 67, including 11 commercial service airports and 56 general aviation airports) and attendee listings for airport representatives. The proclamation also mentioned emerging small unmanned aircraft systems and referenced commercial market growth; specific economic figures read in the proclamation were garbled in the transcript and could not be reliably confirmed from the record provided.
Why it matters: the proclamation is ceremonial but highlights the Legislature’s recognition of aviation’s role in the state’s economy, emergency response capacity and regional connectivity.
Participants noted on the floor included Sarah DeMoury (Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport), Victor Palma (Tucson Airport Authority), Cameron Adkins (Safford Regional Airport), Scott Brownlee (Phoenix-Mesa Gateway) and John Kubridge (Prescott Regional Airport). Representative Biasucci and the clerk conducted the introduction and reading of the proclamation.
The House recessed and later continued floor business following the presentation.
