Multi-year construction plan unveiled for Reno-Tahoe International Airport
The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority on Wednesday unveiled a multi-year construction program, called MoreRNO, that is set to begin this spring.
As Northern Nevada continues to grow, the airport, facilities and services must grow, airport officials said in a news release, noting a record number of non-stop destinations, 27-plus among 13 airlines, and expanding passenger numbers.
The first impacts that passengers will notice will be in the Ticketing Hall, as the airport team works to expand the space and bring more light, art, technology and functionality to this first stop in the travel experience, according to Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority.
Simultaneously to the Ticketing Hall expansion, the airport authority be making improvements to the loop road that runs in front of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport terminal.
Other improvements in the largest-ever construction project at the airport include a new consolidated car rental facility and parking garage expansion, public safety center, new terminal entry and exit, concourse reconstruction and expansion, and a remodel of the terminal mezzanine, airport officials said in the news release.
“As we move into a new era for our beloved airport, have confidence that we will work hard to maintain the convenience RNO passengers have come to know and the amenities that make our airport special,” said Daren Griffin, President/CEO of Reno-Tahoe International Airport. “We appreciate the support we receive from our region and want to thank everyone for their patience over the next several years as we work to bring the facilities and services our passengers deserve.”
Because of the many changes Reno-Tahoe International Airport will be experiencing over the next several years, arriving at least two hours early is most important due to parking, airline check-in, and TSA security screening, officials said.
