Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority

Farewell to the orange cones—at least for now. The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has successfully completed the second project under the #MoreRNO Infrastructure Program. With the enhancements to the airport's Loop Road, we are committed to improving safety, accessibility and convenience for passengers—ensuring a smoother journey ahead. We are grateful to the project team for their dedication in delivering this project on schedule, within budget and—most importantly—without time lost to injury. This Loop Road project was funded through passenger facility charges and federal allocations, like a $3.6 million congressional earmark that was made possible by our federal congressional delegation—Rep. Mark Amodei, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and Sen. Jacky Rosen. A special shout-out to everyone who joined us in celebrating this milestone, including Jennifer Cunningham, Alexis Hill and Ed Lawson—your support is invaluable. Stay tuned as we continue to elevate the travel experience with MoreRNO. You can learn more about all of our upcoming projects at www.MoreRNO.com.

The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority officially closed on the issuance of ~$250 million in bonds. The proceeds will be used to fund critical infrastructure projects at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, including new concourses. It was an honor to be part of the RTAA team led by Chief Finance and Administration Officer Randall Carlton. The issuance would not have been possible without our Bond Counsel, Ryan A. Henry of Sherman & Howard L.L.C. and our Disclosure Counsel Adam Gerchick and Dave Bannard of Kaplan Kirsch LLP. My sincere appreciation to all involved in the transaction and to the RTAA for giving me the opportunity to be part of this historic issuance.

Repeated Refrains, the 450-foot public art installation in the Ticketing Hall at Reno-Tahoe International Airport, was selected for a feature in CODAmagazine’s Celebrating Nature issue. This esteemed recognition further highlights the success of the artwork in capturing the beauty of the Reno-Tahoe landscape and inspiring viewers with its seasonal depictions of the region's natural wonders. We’re thrilled to see the first public art commission at RNO, created by artist Dixie Friend Gay, continue to receive such well-deserved acclaim. #ArtsAtTheAirport #ArtsAtTheAirportRNO

I am pleased to announce that the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has secured $238 million in bonds to support major projects under the MoreRNO Infrastructure Program, including new concourses and the RNO Police Department and RTAA Headquarters projects. Demand for these bonds was over 11 times the amount offered, showing strong confidence in RNO’s future. We’re grateful for the guidance and expertise that BofA Securities provided our team.

We continue to celebrate National Aviation Week with more good news. Congratulations to the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Ticketing Hall Expansion project team, trade partners, and RS&H for achieving ENR Southwest’s 2024 Best Regional Project Award of Merit in Renovation/Restoration. The expansion significantly enhances the traveler experience as the first completed phase of the airport’s billion-dollar, multi-year MoreRNO Infrastructure Program. The newly designed Ticketing Hall now serves as the modern “front door” to the Reno-Tahoe region, with a design inspired by the natural landscapes of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding high desert. Congratulations to all of the ENR Southwest Best Project winners: https://ow.ly/8byi50T4kRa #McCarthyBuild #McCarthyProud #ENRSouthwest #NationalAviationWeek

This week, Chair Jennifer Cunningham and I had the great pleasure of welcoming Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Senator Jacky Rosen and Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto to RNO. Their visit was a special opportunity to showcase our plans to build an innovative geothermal system, which will power a hybrid electric centralized utility plant (E-CUP) as part of our MoreRNO Infrastructure Program.   We’re proud to be among the first to embrace this forward-thinking approach, ensuring greater efficiency and sustainability for our new concourses. The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority is immensely grateful to the Secretary and our Senators for their strong support and the federal funding that is making this project possible. Your commitment to our airport and community is invaluable and greatly appreciated!

Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RNO) opened a newly expanded Ticketing Hall in April, doubling its queue space with an additional 10,000 square feet. Beyond adding more room for queues, the Nevada airport also remodeled and upgraded its existing 35,000-square-foot hall with new public restrooms, ticketing kiosks, wayfinding signage and space for oversized baggage. A higher ceiling brings in natural daylight, improved sightlines and aesthetics—as well as more energy-efficient lighting. The expansion is the first completed phase of the MoreRNO Infrastructure Program, the airport’s billion-dollar, multi-year project aimed to meet growing demand for air travel in the area.
