As of January 10, 2019, passengers may find their Boarding Pass shows they will be departing Tucson International Airport (TUS) from Gate C1.
If that applies to you, it’s important to know where to find the C Gates because they are not in the main airline terminal that has the A and B gates. Instead, the C Gates are in a one-level building that has its own separate entrance about 300 feet west of the main terminal.
Long-time airport users may remember the building as the former International Terminal until 2008. The building now also houses U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry Enrollment office.
Allegiant Air is the first airline that will be using the C gates. Its first arrival using the C Gates will be January 10 for Flight 740 from Bellingham (Vancouver) scheduled to arrive about 7 p.m. and then depart back to Bellingham at 7:40 p.m. as Flight 741. The next day, January 11, Allegiant Flight 382 from Provo is scheduled to arrive at the C Gates at 12 noon and then depart at 12:45 p.m. back to Provo as Flight 383.
So far, only Allegiant has opted to use the new C Gates facility on a regular basis but other airlines may follow and it can also be an option for charter flights.
The TAA is looking at the possibility of expanding the C Gates facility in the future.
In the meantime, passengers departing from the C Gates should know:

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
This white paper discusses the hardware deployed, the test results and the annualized expectations for ROI.
