Greetings!
What a great start to the summer with passenger numbers on the rise!
Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) has seen a positive trend during the past few months with passenger numbers climbing in comparison to 2009. Year to date, passenger traffic is up six percent. At this time last year, RNO was down 24 percent.
Along with the increase in passengers, Reno-Tahoe International Airport celebrates the addition of nine new departures in June. And while new flights are always great news, it is important to remember that the demand must be met in order to keep these flights. The responsibility rests on the community to fill the more than 2,500 additional seats that are available starting this month.
So log on to www.renoairport.com and plan your summer travel. Click on "Find Flights" and plan your flying adventure today.
Sincerely,
Krys T. Bart, A.A.E.
President & CEO
Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority

Nine new departures: airport now offers 144 flights a day
June brings nine new daily departures to Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO). With additions to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, the month of June will climb to 72 departures per day to 15 destinations. The new flights also mean that Los Angeles has become RNO's most served market, with 13 departures to LAX each day. The second most served market is Las Vegas with 11 daily departures.  The month of June also marks the official end of the Airport Baggage Check-in project, or ABC. This $63 million dollar project, paid with no local tax dollars, brought 1,000 jobs to the community during the past 22 months when the economy and the region desperately needed jobs. Now that the project is complete with a state of the art Baggage Handling System in place behind a newly remodeled Ticket Lobby, the roadways in front of the terminal have re-opened. All lanes of vehicle traffic are now available for pick-up and drop-off. Remember, however, that there is still no waiting curbside and that the curb is for immediate loading and unloading only. |
Art Gallery features news photographer Marilyn Newton
On June 1, the latest exhibit in the airport's Connector Collections Gallery was officially unveiled during an evening to honor Marilyn Newton and her photography, appropriately titled, "And the story goes..." The special art collection represents a collaboration of both personal and news photography spanning the nearly 50 years that Marilyn Newton has worked for the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is proud to display Marilyn's photographs that depict the people, events and spirit of Northern Nevada. Her work has won numerous state and national awards and has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. The airport's gallery displays some of her favorite pieces including a photo of three police officers with guns drawn in hot pursuit of a suspect.
The airport's art gallery is free and open to the public 24/7, located on the second floor of the terminal between concourses B and C.
Next month, passengers can enjoy music and dance in the terminal as we celebrate Artown. And last year's debut of the Burning Man "Art from the Playa" was such a success that a second installment of artwork from the Black Rock will return at the end of July.
So stay tuned for more art and entertainment this summer season. |
