Flights to Reno, NV
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Reno is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Reno Tahoe International Airport (RNO), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, whose 11,001-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Truckee Tahoe Airport (TKF, 37 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reno Tahoe International Airport | RNO | 5 km (3 mi) | 11,001 ft | 4,415 ft |
| Truckee Tahoe Airport (regional) | TKF | 37 km (23 mi) | 7,001 ft | 5,900 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,001 ft, RNO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 4,415 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
