More direct non-stop flights from Tucson being added
There are currently nine airlines
providing daily nonstop service to 16 destinations from Tucson
International. Airlines and service include: Alaska (Seattle); American

JetBlue Airways stopped providing air flight
service from Tucson on May 12, 2008. The airline had non-stop service
to New York for the past two years. Tucson is the only city in the
cutback, according to JetBlue. Low passenger counts, rising gas costs
and low-fare competition to New York were contributing factors in the
decision to pull out of the Tucson market.
