Airport Overview

Page sections

Tucson International Airport is the gateway to Arizona’s stark, beautiful, desert landscape. It is just 10km (6 miles) from downtown Tucson and has good transport options to get passengers to and from the airport. There are fewer than ten airlines offering flights to Tucson International Airport. Passengers can fly directly to Tucson from several cities across the United States, including Chicago, Houston, Seattle and Los Angeles.

The airport has a good number of restaurants as well as shopping opportunities ranging from golfing equipment to souvenirs and gifts. If none of those interests you, then the arts and culture programme is sure to keep passengers entertained. A permanent exhibition and a number of temporary installations convey the culture and beauty of Arizona. Passenger feedback indicates that Tucson’s relatively small size means shorter queues and friendlier service than larger airfields.
