Tucson International Airport adds new nonstop flight to Oakland

Tucson International Airport has added a new nonstop flight to Oakland.

The Southwest Airlines flight will begin service from TIA on March 11.

“Getting more nonstop to the Bay Area has been a high priority for us because of the passenger demand,” said Danette Bewley, President and CEO of the Tucson Airport Authority. “Oakland fits the demand perfectly. Not only is Oakland and the East Bay a destination in its own right, it is right across the Bay from downtown San Francisco and the closest major Bay Area airport to the Napa wine region. Plus, Oakland provides several flight connection opportunities to Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest.”

With this latest flight addition, Southwest will fly to seven destinations from Tucson: Chicago Midway, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles (returns March 4), Oakland and San Diego (returns March 13).
