Reno–Tahoe International Airport is a joint civil-military public airport located three nautical miles 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 William J. "Bill" Raggio. Raggio is described in the exhibit as being "The Father of the Airport Authority." Wikipedia [ - ]
