Tucson International Airport (IATA: TUS, ICAO: KTUS, FAA LID: TUS) is a public airport located six miles (10 km) south of the central business district (CBD) of Tucson, a city in Pima County, Arizona, USA. It is the second largest commercial airport in Arizona.

Although Tucson International is not a hub for any major passenger airline company, it does serve as a hub for cargo airline Evergreen International, and it receives many daily jet flights from Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix and from other Southwestern United States destinations, as well as occasional flights from the East and the Pacific Northwest. International service to this airport is limited to flights from Mexico, with Aeroméxico flying in until a few years ago. Aerolitoral is the airline which currently offers Tucson passengers service to Mexico.

In 2005, the airport served 4,130,321 passengers with 284,674 aircraft operations.

The airport recently had its curbside extensively renovated. Renovations to both concourses began in late 2006.

The airport is operated by Tucson Airport Authority, which also operates Ryan Field Airport.
