~ Arizona Airport Passport Program ~
AZAPP
By Trent Heidtke
In last month’s APA newsletter we introduced our Arizona Passport program. We hope it will incentivize pilots to fly to all of Arizona’s 56 public use airports, aviation themed museums, and on-site airport restaurants.
So, where are we heading into September you ask? Well, a couple things to announce. One is that the first live AZAPP placard has been placed with 24x7 airside access at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ! The placard containing the QR code for KFFZ is in the terminal adjacent to the brochure rack straight through the door. Yuma International and Rolle airfield should have theirs placed by September 1. We will communicate locations for those signs once confirmed with the airport managers. More airports coming soon!
Next, and working with our partner Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), we have released V2 of the application for both Android and Apple devices. The newest release contains mostly bug fixes. APA is working with ERAU on a round of application enhancements that are targeted for spring semester release. If you have used the app and have feedback, feel free to contact Trent Heidtke at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We appreciate anything in the way of comments so that we can make the program better along the way.
Anyone interested in the program should visit either the Apple App store or Google Play and download the application. Search for FLYAZ in either of the two application stores.
While we are excited the program is finally going forward with placards going up at airports, remember, it will probably be the end of September before enough airports have posted signs for you to start planning new adventures throughout the state.
