Palm Springs International Airport

Our partner

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) connects the Coachella Valley to destinations across the country and beyond, serving more than three million passengers annually. As regional growth drives increasing demand for air travel, PSP is undertaking significant investments to expand capacity, improve the passenger experience, and plan for the region’s long-term transportation needs.

How we helped

Daley Strategies’ work with PSP began with a comprehensive stakeholder engagement campaign supporting the Airport’s Master Plan. Our team brought the planning process directly to communities across the Coachella Valley through presentations to city councils, business organizations, community groups, and public open houses.

Today, our partnership has expanded to include strategic advisory, government affairs, communications, community engagement, funding advocacy, air service development, and support for major capital projects. Daley Strategies also works with Airport leadership to engage elected officials and agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, prepare for high-level meetings, navigate sensitive issues, and communicate PSP’s regional economic importance and long-term vision.

Highlights

The Master Plan engagement included over 40 stakeholder presentations and three public open houses, with community feedback directly informing elements of the final development plan, including a hybrid alternative for the proposed consolidated Rental Car Center. The Master Plan received unanimous approval from the Palm Springs City Council, and the outreach campaign earned a Certificate of Excellence at the 2025 CAPIO EPIC Awards for its transparent, community-driven approach.
