Chandler Municipal Airport (ICAO: KCHD, FAA LID: CHD) is in Maricopa County, Arizona three miles southeast of Chandler, which owns it.[1] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport.[2]

Chandler Municipal is one of the nation’s 50 busiest general aviation airports. It adds to Arizona’s economy by bringing in more than $53 million annually. No airlines operate out of Chandler and none plan to in the near future.[3]

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Chandler Municipal is CHD to the FAA[1] and has no IATA code (IATA had assigned CHD to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona[4] - since redesignated by the IATA as AZA).

Facilities

The airport covers 550 acres (223 ha) at an elevation of 1,243 feet (379 m). It has two asphalt runways: 4L/22R is 4,401 by 75 feet (1,341 x 23 m) and 4R/22L is 4,870 by 75 feet (1,484 x 23 m). It has one concrete helipad, H1, 100 by 100 feet (30 x 30 m).[1]

The airport has built and improved a heliport facility, airport signage, and aircraft parking space by 10 acres with 90 tie-down spaces. These improvements were made over the last 6 years and cost about $7 million. The privately owned parking spaces are at 100% capacity. Affiliated Property Management is the name of the company/HOA that controls the privately owned hangars.

In the year ending April 25, 2011 the airport had 161,750 aircraft operations, average 443 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% air taxi, and <1% military. 333 aircraft were then based at the airport: 86% single-engine, 9% multi-engine, 3% helicopter, 1% jet, and 1% ultralight.[1]
