What do the colors mean?
The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.
Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.
3 runways · Longest runway: 11,490 ft
We currently see no traffic on approach or just after takeoff. That happens at a quiet airport or in the middle of the night.

Practical
Transport by tram, bus, and taxi; parking at the airport; picking someone up or dropping them off.
Fly direct
The destinations we know the most flight numbers for. That approximates how heavily a route is served; it is not a passenger count.
Other airports within reach, with the straight-line distance and the number of direct destinations we know of. Airports without scheduled service are left out.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport carries the IATA code PHX and the ICAO code KPHX and serves the city of Phoenix in the United States. Our records classify it as a large airport, and our own traffic data goes a step further: Sky Harbor is one of the busiest airports in our measurement. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from PHX airport right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it list the individual flights, so the text below sticks to what neither can show: how much traffic we recorded at Sky Harbor, which airlines we pick up there most often, and where the nearest alternatives are.
Over a recent 30-day period, our own reception measurement logged an average of 116.2 aircraft observations per day near Sky Harbor. That number does not come from an airline schedule or a third-party feed; it is what we received ourselves, and it is the figure behind the airport's place among the busiest in our data. The busiest window in those 30 days fell between 01:00 and 03:00 on our measurement clock, which runs in UTC rather than Phoenix local time. Treat that window as background on when traffic tends to peak, not as a forecast for tonight; for what is arriving and departing right now, the radar above is the place to look. For anyone plotting the airport on a map, its recorded position is 33.4353 north, 112.0059 west.
Three carriers dominate our Sky Harbor count. American Airlines leads by a wide margin: we recorded 1,890 observations of its aircraft near PHX in 30 days, far ahead of the other two airlines in the data. Frontier Airlines follows at 168 observations over the same period, and Delta Air Lines sits just behind at 149. If the flight you are waiting on belongs to one of these three, the carrier pages are the next step: American Airlines flight status, Frontier Airlines flight status, or Delta Air Lines flight status.
Sky Harbor is not the only airport in the Phoenix area. The closest alternative in our data is Mesa Gateway Airport, 36 km away, worth a look when a flight into Phoenix does not appear on the Sky Harbor arrivals page. Almost exactly as far out, at 37 km, lies Luke Air Force Base. Farther out, Prescott Regional Airport - Ernest A. Love Field lies 141 km from Sky Harbor, the third and most distant of the nearby airports in our data. For airports beyond the Phoenix area, start from the airport overview.
