TUS Resumes International Operations, Mexico Routes Added

TUS will resume international operations early next month after Mexican operator Aeromar Airlines announced the city would be its second US destination.

Aeromar will deploy its ATR42s to Tucson offering a four times weekly service from GDL via LMM and HMO using its fleet of ATR42-300/-500s effective October 3

“Re-establishing nonstop and direct air service into Mexico has been one of our highest priorities," Bonnie Allin, President and CEO of the Tucson Airport Authority, said. "It’s an important economic link for our region’s trade and logistics sectors. Eight years later we have success. Now it will be vitally important for travelers to use these flights.”

American Airlines controls Tucson with 37.74% of its total weekly capacity followed by Southwest Airlines with 34.68%, Delta Air Lines with 13.32%, United Airlines with 10.79%, and Alaska Airlines with 3.45%.
