The Airport Prepares for Increase in Passengers and Burning Man Activity RENO, Nev. (Aug. 21, 2024) – The Reno-Tahoe International […]
Parking demand at critical levels
Who: Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) will potentially see 15,000+ passengers arriving and departing on peak days.
What: With a record-tying number of destinations, parking lots will be at capacity and passengers will experience longer lines in ticketing and the security checkpoint.
Although overflow lots with an additional 400 spaces will be available when the garage and surface lot fill up, there is a possibility RNO will run out of space starting late Thursday, June 24. The airport is recommending travelers use an alternative means of transportation such as Uber, Lyft, taxi, public transportation or catch a ride with a friend or relative.
If driving to RNO is the only option, parking staff will be working during peak times directing traffic and handing out maps if the garage and surface lot fill up. As a rule, visitors should look to park first in the garage or surface lot, but if full, overflow signs will be clearly marked as guests enter the airport.
Other recommendations include:
When: Thursday, June 24 – Monday, June 28
Why: Pent up travel demand from the pandemic, and several new non-stop destinations have fueled the airport’s rapid recovery
