About Executive Air Tucson
Executive Air Tucson is the newest FBO at Tucson International Airport, operating a modern private aviation terminal and four-acre ramp on the south side of the field. The facility was built from the ground up with a focus on creating a comfortable and contemporary arrival experience for Southern Arizona's corporate and charter passengers.
The terminal features a passenger waiting area with full ramp views through large windows, complimentary refreshments and beverages, and a welcoming environment that reflects the facility's recent construction. A private pilot lounge offers television, high-speed Wi-Fi, and flight crew computer terminals for planning. Courtesy car service for flight crews and a shuttle to local hotels, restaurants, and the main airline terminal are included.
Aircraft services include quality 100LL and Jet A fuel from AvFuel at competitive general aviation pricing, along with AVFUEL loyalty benefits. A 12,000-square-foot hangar provides weather protection for aircraft, and a self-service fuel farm operates around the clock. The NATA Safety 1st trained line staff handles fueling and towing operations with professional care.
Tucson draws a mix of corporate travelers, winter visitors escaping colder climates, and passengers connecting to the region's outdoor recreation opportunities. The University of Arizona campus is about 15 minutes from the airport, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is nearby, and the Sonoran Desert landscape surrounding the city, including Saguaro National Park and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, attracts visitors year-round. The airport's primary runway, 11L/29R, is 10,996 feet, accommodating all aircraft categories. Executive Air provides a newer, independently operated alternative to the other FBOs on the field.
