context_page_description: Reno–Tahoe International Airport is a public and military airport three miles southeast of downtown Reno, in Washoe County, Nevada, United States. It is the state's second busiest commercial airport after McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. The Nevada Air National Guard has the 152nd Airlift Wing southwest of the airport's main terminal. The airport is named after both the City of Reno, Nevada and Lake Tahoe. The airspace of Reno-Tahoe Airport is controlled by the Northern California TRACON and Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center.
context_section_description: Reno/Tahoe International Airport covers 1,450 acres (587 ha) at an elevation of 4,415 feet (1,346 m). In the year ending June 30, 2018 the airport had 93,636 aircraft operations, average 256 per day: 47% airline, 38% general aviation, 13% air taxi, and 3% military. At that time 123 aircraft were based here: 74 single-engine, 18 multi-engine, 17 jet, 9 military, and 5 helicopter. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).
  It has three concrete runways: 16R/34L is 11,001 by 150 feet (3,353 x 46 m); 16L/34R is 9,000 by 150 feet (2,743 x 46 m); 7/25 is 6,102 by 150 feet (1,860 x 46 m). In fall 2010 the airport opened a new 200-foot (61-meter) ATCT to replace the 70-foot (21-meter) control tower that had been used for more than 50 years. It was designed by the Parsons Design Firm, responsible for the design of many other ATCT towers. The cost of the new tower was about 30 million dollars.
  The passenger terminal is named after the late US Senator Howard Cannon. The lobby of the terminal has an exhibit with the bust of Nevada State Senator (and Nevada State Senate Minority Leader) William J. "Bill" Raggio. Raggio is described in the exhibit as being "The Father of the Airport Authority."
