History, Facts and Overview

Dating back to 1929, Reno Tahoe Airport was first known as Hubbard Field and was at that stage owned by Boeing Transport. In 1936, ownership of the airport was transferred to United Airlines and then in the early 1950s, the airport was purchased by the city.

By 1960 and in time for the Squaw Valley Olympics, the airport opened its new terminal building, which greatly increased its overall capacity. In 1994, the airport was officially renamed as the Reno Tahoe International Airport (RNO) and continues to improve its passenger services and amenities.
