Phoenix City Council votes to name Sky Harbor's Terminal 3 for Sen. John McCain

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s Terminal 3 will officially have a new name—the John S. McCain III Terminal.

The Phoenix City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a proposal made by Mayor Greg Stanton to make the name designation after Arizona’s iconic senior senator.

Following the vote, Sen. McCain released the following statement:
“I’m deeply humbled by the Phoenix City Council’s decision to designate Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in my name. I have rarely felt at once so honored and yet so unworthy of an honor as I do today. I want to thank Mayor Greg Stanton and the entire Phoenix City Council for this privilege, one that is shared by my predecessor and a true Arizona giant, Barry Goldwater. The great honor of my life has been to serve the people of Arizona in the United States Congress and I will strive every day to prove worthy of that honor.”

Terminal 3 is in the middle of a $590 million modernization to be completed by 2020. The long-outdated terminal will have a new south concourse with 15 new gates and a remodeled north concourse with all new shops and restaurants that will match the quality of what passengers now find in Terminal 4. On track with making Phoenix one of the most sustainable cities in the world, the terminal will also be energy-efficient, with LED lighting in every fixture.
