A record number of international flights landed at Scottsdale Airport in the early part of 2014, in part because the city expanded the U.S. Customs office and hours at the airport.
Through April, 334 international flights landed in Scottsdale. The record for a year is 490 in 2013. The highest first four months’ usage was in 2012, when 219 flights arrived in Scottsdale from outside of the United States.
Scottsdale added a second Customs officer in February in response to growing international business.
