Authorities from the National Transportation Safety Board are continuing their investigation into the recent aircraft accident at Scottsdale Airport.

The accident occurred at 2:39 p.m. when a private jet appears to have suffered a mechanical failure upon landing, veered off the runway and struck another aircraft which was parked near a private hangar adjacent to the runway.

Airport operations staff and emergency responders acted swiftly to render aid to those involved in the accident and secure the scene. The runway was closed for approximately six hours.

Scottsdale Airport re-opened the runway at 8:38 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10, and operations have continued normally since then. The primary aircraft involved has been removed by NTSB investigators for further examination.

The Scottsdale Airport team appreciates the support of the aviation community and the public during the response and the continuing investigation.

More than 166,000 aircraft operations occurred at Scottsdale Airport in 2024, making it one of the busiest single runway general aviation airports in the nation. While incidents like this are rare, it is a reminder that safety is always the top airport priority.

Scottsdale Airport extends sincere gratitude to the first responders, and local agencies for their professionalism and support during this incident and for being part of the team which helps the airport serve the aviation community each day as safely as possible.
