Greetings!
The October chill is in the air and it's not too early to prepare for winter. The Airport is finalizing its winter operations plan and is ready to keep the runways clear of snow this season. As you prepare for winter and make your holiday travel plans, remember to visit www.renoairport.com and search for flights to wherever you wish to go with the new online searchable flight guide. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you soon at Reno-Tahoe International Airport.  Sincerely, Krys T. Bart, A.A.E. President & CEO Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority |
New air service to Boston and beyond
Flying to Reno-Tahoe from
the East Coast will be even easier this winter thanks to new flights to Boston,
Denver, Minneapolis and more.
Southwest Airlines starts
new direct service to Boston, Massachusetts on January 10, 2010.
Southwest will fly non-stop daily to Denver, Colorado with a same-plane direct
connection to Boston. This flight adds Southwest service to a major hub airport
in the west and offers same-plane service to another major hub on the East
Coast.  The new Denver service will be the first flight between
Reno and the Mile-High City to be offered by Southwest. It will feature a
137-seat Boeing 737.
"New non-stop service to Denver is fantastic news for
our community and same-plane service to Boston is something we have worked hard
to achieve for several years," Krys Bart, President/CEO of Reno-Tahoe International
Airport, said. Also bringing east coast
travelers to Reno-Tahoe this winter, Delta/Northwest will offer seasonal non-stop
flights to Minneapolis and Atlanta.

What this means is that passengers are spending money on the quality retail and gift items, and tasty food and beverage options available at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Per passenger, more money is spent than much larger airports such as Orlando, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Chicago.

Airport leaders earn RARA Chairman's award
At the September Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Board of Trustees Meeting, the Reno Air Race Association (RARA) presented two outstanding leaders at the Airport Authority with the RARA Chairman's Award.
Krys Bart, President/CEO and Skip Polak, Manager of Stead Airport (photo above and below respectively), were awarded the prestigious award in honor of their dedication and service to the National Championship Air Races and the Air Race Association.
In addition to the award, they were each gifted with a bright red Air Race jacket embroidered with their name.
Each September, the Reno-Stead Airport teems with activity as over 200,000 guests, hundreds of aircraft, their pilots, and crews land on the airfield for the National Championship Air Races.
And each year, teams at the Reno-Stead and Reno-Tahoe International Airports, work very hard before, during and after the races to ensure a safe and efficient operation.
In recognition of the Airport Authority's support of the National Championship Air Races, the Reno Air Race Association expressed their gratitude with the Chairman's awards.
