ExpressJet Airlines takes off to three new cities from Tucson International Airport, expanding its nonstop service for business and winter holiday travelers.

“We are very pleased to celebrate the inauguration of additional ExpressJet Airlines service at Tucson International Airport, " said TAA President/CEO Bonnie Allin. “ExpressJet is providing Tucson customers with the only daily nonstop service available to three important cities, and that convenience will be especially welcome during the busy holiday travel season.”

Jim Ream, ExpressJet President and CEO, said he was pleased with the warm welcome Tucson has offered to ExpressJet Airlines since the airline started service earlier this year.

“This market responded positively, and we’re excited to bring you new nonstop connections to Reno-Tahoe, Spokane and Omaha,” Ream said.

Now, Tucson travelers can fly with ExpressJet Airlines to Austin, El Paso, Kansas City, Mo., LA/Ontario, Omaha, Reno-Tahoe, Sacramento, San Antonio, and Spokane. Travelers also have the option of continuing on to New Orleans without changing planes.

Ream said he is pleased with the progress ExpressJet Airlines has made since introducing its network earlier this year, and that customers are commenting favorably on the new service.

“ExpressJet will continue to look for new ways we can bring customers a better experience when they fly,” Ream said. “We are hearing from our customers that they appreciate being able to save time and enjoy a more comfortable ride in our quiet and fuel-efficient, young fleet of jets.”
