Travel: Tucson: Tucson International Airport
Information about Tucson International Airport (TIA)
Tucson Airport Authority announced a new interactive air service map is now available on the Tucson International Airport websites.
The scalable map includes all of the nonstop destinations from Tucson as well as showing all other domestic and many international destinations. Clicking on any destination opens a dialogue box that lists all service to that destination - nonstop as well as connections - and the carriers providing service.
There is a link at the bottom of the dialogue box to a QuikTrip timetable and convenient links to airfare search engines. There is also a search box where visitors can enter any destination.
The mapping service and QuikTrip timetable leverage one of the airline industry’s leading schedule databases containing over 900 airlines and 99% of all schedules in the world with 86% of the schedules updated at least weekly.
The Flight Mapping Service, a product of Innovata, uses the latest flash technology and displays airline and airport route networks and flight routings on a map that is fully integrated with a timetable display of all current schedules for the airlines serving the airport mapped. The mapping displays are automatically updated and maintained by linking airlines and airports.

New international terminal opens- but, Mexico airlines leave
A new international terminal opened Oct. 11, 2008, the same day that the last inbound flight from Mexican airline Aeromexico. The week before, Aeromexico suspended non-stop flights between Tucson and Hermosillo, Sonora. Now, no international flights will arrive or depart from the new terminal. Tucson now has 17 nonstop destinations. That is a drop from 29 at the beginning of this year. All airports have suffred declines in flights and service.
Tucson International Airport still has growing pains. Continuous construction and remodeling to the terminal, security, parking and dining facilities even easily confuse Tucson natives. It's not the same old aiport anymore. New projects are planned to continue to expand the airport over the next twenty years. This includes a new 11,000 foot runway and a new traffic control tower. Both projects will probably begin in 2009. A recent renovation of the airport terminal, expansion of parking, elimination of the top floor restaurant - converted into conference and meeting rooms- are among some of the recent changes.
