A U.S. based airline operated scheduled passenger jet service from Guaymas during the 1970s. In 1975, Hughes Airwest was operating nonstop service to Phoenix (PHX) four days a week with a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 jetliner with this flight offering continuing, no change of plane service to San Jose, CA (SJC), San Francisco (SFO), Sacramento (SMF), Eugene, OR (EUG). Portland, OR (PDX) and Seattle (SEA).[1]

Aeromexico operated daily McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 jet service from Guaymas nonstop to Tucson (TUS) for a number of years in the 1980s and 1990s.[2]

US Airways used to fly to Phoenix–Sky Harbor from Guaymas with Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft; the route was initially operated by Beechcraft 1900D and Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. The service was discontinued in late 2012.[3]
