ASI Heliport

Corporate restructuring and economic reasons. The heliport was a private facility owned by Aviation Services Inc. (ASIG). Following the company's acquisition by BBA Aviation (which integrated ASIG into its Signature Flight Support brand), the heliport was likely deemed redundant, economically unviable, or no longer necessary for the new consolidated business operations.

The heliport is permanently closed and decommissioned. The site, located at approximately 4050 E. University Drive, consists of a commercial/industrial building and parking lot. There are no visible markings or infrastructure for an active helipad remaining. The property is part of the industrial area bordering Sky Harbor Airport and is likely used for general commercial, warehouse, or aviation-related ground support purposes, potentially by Signature Aviation (the successor to ASIG) or another tenant.

ASI Heliport, which held the FAA Location Identifier (LID) 'AZ82', was a private-use heliport. It was owned and operated by Aviation Services Inc. (later ASIG), a major international provider of aviation services, including ground handling and fueling. The heliport's primary purpose was to support the company's extensive operations at the adjacent Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). It was likely used for executive transport, emergency logistical support, or rapid transit of personnel and critical parts between company facilities, bypassing ground traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the ASI Heliport. As a private facility whose function was tied to the specific operational needs of a company that has since been restructured, there is no longer a dedicated user for it. Any future use of the site for helicopter operations would require a new owner or tenant to have a specific need and to complete the full FAA approval and certification process, which is considered highly unlikely.
