United to offer non-stop flights to Chicago from Reno-Tahoe International Airport
Non-stop daily flights on United Airlines to Chicago's O'Hare will begin in June to accommodate busy summer travel demands, Reno-Tahoe International Airport officials announced Monday.
Beginning June 8, 2017, United Airlines will offer daily, non-stop service to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, adding to the summer travel options between Reno and the Windy City.
This marks the first time in recent Reno-Tahoe airport history that United Airlines will offer non-stop service between Reno and Chicago, a market also served locally by American and Southwest Airlines. The route will sunset Sept. 5.
“The airport heard from the community that they wanted more access to Chicago,” said Marily Mora, president and CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority. “This route is key for both business and leisure, and also offers dozens of connections to the east coast and approximately 50 international destinations, so we are pleased United is filling the need. Now it is up to the community to fill the seats to keep this vital service.”
The United flight will operate non-stop daily, seven days a week on a Boeing 737 with 143 seats. It will depart Chicago at 7:35 p.m., arriving in Reno at 9:45 p.m. The Reno outbound flights will depart here locally at 11:20 p.m., arriving in Chicago at 5 a.m.
