Chandler provides and maintains roadways, bike paths, sidewalks and more to connect you safely and efficiently with where you need to go. Connectivity also means providing infrastructure and facilities to connect Chandler through air travel and technology.
Chandler Airport Day
Thousands attended Chandler Airport Day to commemorate the 75th anniversary of aviation at the Chandler Municipal Airport.
Residents could see aircraft from every era of flight, including biplanes, rotary aircraft, old military planes, fixed-wing aerobatic planes and modern executive jets that fly into Chandler from airfields across the southwest.
There was even a collection of experimental aircraft that were built and took their first flights in Chandler.
