Mesa Gateway Airport is owned and operated by the Mesa Gateway Airport Authority (MGAA), a Joint Powers Airport Authority made up of the Cities of Mesa and Apache Junction, the Towns of Queen Creek and Gilbert, and the Gila River Indian Community. MGAA was established to develop, operate, and maintain the airport at the former Williams Air Force Base site, which closed in September 1993.
