Ryan Airfield (RYN), 9698 West Ajo Highway, is a general aviation airport located about 14 miles southwest of Tucson at the intersection of Ajo Highway (State Route 86) and West Valencia Road.
Construction on Ajo Highway is finished and the main entrance to Ryan Airfield on Aviator Drive has reopened. Be aware that as part of the road realignment, eastbound traffic leaving the airport must use the traffic light at Airfield Drive (Valencia Road) to turn left. Work is now underway to widen Valencia Road between Wade Road and Ajo Highway. Pima County expects to complete the work by summer 2020.
The government shutdown so far has not significantly impacted TSA security at TUS but passengers are encouraged to plan for unanticipated delays. The Tucson Airport Authority thanks the women and men of the TSA, FAA and CBP for continuing to work without pay to keep our passengers safe during this challenging time.
