Tucson International Airport (TUS)
Airport Information

(Tucson, Arizona - AZ, USA)




Located to the south of downtown, Tucson International Airport (TUS), Arizona's second airport after Phoenix, handles about 4.5 million passengers per year to mainly western and southern US destinations, as well as to destinations in Europe. As a gateway to the south of Arizona, Tucson Airport features an efficient terminal building with good passenger facilities and lies just 9 miles / 14 km to the south of downtown Tucson, next to Emery Park and Summit and around 60 miles / 97 km to the north of Mexico's border.

With annual air operations numbering more than 270,000 and over 70 daily departing flights, Tucson Airport features three runways, employs a staff of almost 13,000, and encompasses some 8,250 acres / 3,340 hectares. In total there are 12 airlines at the facility, connecting over 20 non-stop destinations (mainly US) and over 120 connecting airports. Tucson Airport has recently spent considerable time and money soundproofing around 1,500 neighboring houses to the northwest, which is the first stage of new expansion plans.


Public buses are available for transport to downtown Tucson and there is also a shared-ride Arizona Stagecoach minibus service that coincides with the arrival of each flight. Many hotels operate courtesy shuttles for those with reservations, or you can make use of one of the three taxi companies that operate out of Tucson International Airport. Those traveling further afield will find that the I-10 interstate is close to Tucson Airport and connects Casa Grande, Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe.
