Reno-Tahoe International Airport (IATA: RNO, ICAO: KRNO, FAA LID: RNO) is a joint civil-military public airport located three nautical miles (6 km) southeast of the central business district of Reno, a city in Washoe County, Nevada, United States. It serves the Reno metropolitan area, western Nevada, and parts of eastern California and is the closest commercial airport to the vacation and ski resort destination of Lake Tahoe.
It is the second busiest commercial airport in the state of Nevada after McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
The Nevada Air National Guard maintains the 152nd Airlift Wing to the southwest of the airport's main terminal.
Reno-Tahoe International used to be the hub of Reno Air, a now-defunct medium sized airline that had offered non-stop MD-80 and MD-90 service to many cities, until Reno Air was bought and taken over by American Airlines and eventually completely disposed of in 2001. Reno Air's first flight was on July 1, 1992, and its last flight was on August 30, 1999.
The passenger terminal is named after the late US Senator Howard Cannon. The main lobby of the terminal contains an exhibit featuring the bust of Nevada State Senator (and Nevada State Senate Minority Leader) William J. "Bill" Raggio. Raggio is described in the exhibit as being "The Father of the Airport Authority."
Public transportation to and from the airport is provided by RTC Ride bus #19.
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is ranked at the 61th busiest commercial airport in the nation and in the fall of 2010 will open a new 200ft ATCT replacing the old one of more than 50 years.
Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority officials are currently exploring the possibilities of expanding the terminal and adding a 3rd concourse in the future, potentially starting in 2012. The airport is also exploring the possibility of a consolodated rental car facility and international flights to Mexico and Canada as well as more domestic flights. American Airlines has established a very strong relationship with the airport. History
The airport was built in 1929 by Boeing Transport Inc. and named Hubbard Field after Boeing Air Transport VP and air transport pioneer Eddie Hubbard [1] [2]. It was acquired by United Airlines in 1936 and purchased by the City of Reno in 1953. The first terminal building was completed in time for the 1960 Winter Olympics held in Squaw Valley, California. The airport received its current name in 1994, when the terminal was named in honor of retired Air Force Reserve Major General and former U.S. Senator Howard Cannon. Prior to that airport itself was named Cannon International Airport.

Accidents and incidents
In the early morning hours of January 21, 1985, Galaxy Airlines Flight 203 took off from the airport for Minneapolis, Minnesota and crashed 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of the airport while the pilots were attempting an emergency landing after experiencing an unexpected vibration from under the wing. An investigation attributed the crash to pilot error for failing to maintain proper control over the aircraft while investigating the cause of the vibration. The vibration was later found to be caused by an open air start service door which the ground crew failed to secure before departure. All but 1 of the 71 passengers and crew onboard were killed.
Facilities and aircraft
Reno-Tahoe International Airport covers an area of 1,450 acres (587 ha) at an elevation of 4,415 feet (1,346 m) above mean sea level. It has three concrete paved runways: 16R/34L measuring 11,002 by 150 feet (3,353 x 46 m), 16L/34R measuring 9,000 by 150 feet (2,743 x 46 m), and 7/25 measuring 6,102 by 150 feet (1,860 x 46 m).
For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2007, the airport had 145,515 aircraft operations, an average of 398 per day: 44% general aviation, 37% scheduled commercial, 15% air taxi and 4% military. At that time there were 182 aircraft based at this airport: 68% single-engine, 13% multi-engine, 12% jet, 2% helicopter and 4% military.
Military facilities and aircraftThe airport is also host to Reno Air National Guard Base, an approximately 60 acre complex which was established on the west side of the airport in 1954 when Air National Guard units relocated from the former Stead AFB in Reno. The base is home to the 152d Airlift Wing (152 AW), a Nevada Air National Guard unit operationally gained by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) and equipped with C-130H Hercules aircraft. A tactical fighter and fighter-reconnaissance unit for most of its history, the 152 AW transitioned to a tactical airlift mission in 1995. The wing is the host unit for the base, which has over 1,100 Air National Guard personnel, both full-time Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) and Air Reserve Technicians (ART), as well as part-time traditional air national guardsmen.

Sound levels
Sound levels have been analyzed for over two decades at this airport, with one of the first studies being a comprehensive production of aircraft sound level contour maps. Later analysis was conducted to analyze sound levels at Kate Smith School and provide retrofitting to reduce sound levels through a Federal Aviation Administration grant.
