Scottsdale Airport is a key hub for private jets traveling in and out of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
The facility experiences a surge in air traffic during major events such as the Waste Management Open golf tournament, which draws large crowds and high-profile visitors.
This accident is the fourth aviation incident in the United States in just over a week, raising renewed concerns about flight safety.
Investigators will now work to understand the factors leading up to the crash and assess whether any operational or mechanical failures contributed to the incident.
