The Tucson Airport Authority (TAA) is an independent, nonprofit organization that operates Tucson International Airport and Ryan Airfield, a general aviation reliever. Founded in 1948, it funds its activities from airport-generated revenues rather than local taxes and makes sizable annual investments in safety, security, and facility infrastructure. These investments support job creation and economic activity in Tucson and southern Arizona, underpinning the region’s aviation ecosystem. Together, the two airports sustain about 17,000 jobs and host more than 100 tenants, spanning aviation and non-aviation businesses as well as military and government operations. The Authority operates within the airlines and aviation sector and serves a diverse mix of users and activities tied to both public and private interests. In 2026, leadership updates included Mary Fowler's promotion to vice president and chief financial officer and John Ivanoff's appointment as vice president of operations. The organization is based in Tucson, Arizona.
