Southwest Airlines will introduce daily nonstop service from Tucson International Airport (TIA) to Oakland, California, and a fourth flight to San Diego, November 4, 2007. This will bring the number of daily departures available from Tucson on Southwest Airlines to 21.
Southwest Airlines is the only airline to offer nonstop service to Oakland from Tucson. The nonstop flight continues on to Seattle from Oakland with no plane change, another boon for Tucson travelers. The schedule for this flight is as follows:
Tucson Departure: 7:55 a.m. - Oakland Arrival: 9:20 a.m.
Oakland Departure: 6:10 p.m. - Tucson Arrival: 9:25 p.m.
In addition to the new flights, Southwest Airlines currently offers two daily nonstop roundtrip flights to Albuquerque, six to Los Angeles, six to Las Vegas, and three to San Diego. In May the “love” airline added a second flight to Chicago Midway Airport.
Southwest Airlines is the number one ranked carrier at Tucson International Airport. In September they carried 29% of the total passenger traffic at TIA, 95,666 passengers.
