Destination Airports: Tucson, Arizona
Tucson has a strong aviation tradition.

Tucson has a strong aviation tradition. It built the nation’s first municipal airport in 1919. During World War II the 16,000-acre, then-municipal airport became Davis-Monthan AFB. After the war, a new civilian airport was established south of the city, the current site of Tucson International Airport.

Today, the three main airports serving Tucson, Ariz., host an eclectic mix of aircraft and missions. Overall aircraft traffic at all three that serve business jets– Tucson International, Ryan and Marana Regional–is on the upswing, but congestion has not grown to the point that the area’s airspace is overly complex.
