RENO

The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) on March 3 joined elected officials, community leaders, airline partners, and construction teams to celebrate breaking ground on its new concourses — a major step forward in the airport’s ongoing expansion.

The New Gen A&B Concourses project is a $650-million investment that will modernize and nearly double the size of the airport’s existing concourses. Backed by a 10-year lease agreement with signatory airlines, the project includes a 100% gate replacement with common-use flexibility to accommodate aircraft of all sizes.

Designed in partnership with McCarthy Building Companies and Gensler, the project reflects a strong collaboration between owner, builder, and architect to deliver a best-in-class facility for the region.

Enhancements include upgraded travel technology, improved wayfinding and signage, expanded hold rooms, concessions and amenities, improved restroom facilities, and dual taxi lanes between concourses to support quicker aircraft turnaround times.

The concourses will feature a modern mountain aesthetic with expansive views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada, creating a welcoming sense of place for travelers. Construction will begin in phases, starting with Concourse A, and will deliver lasting benefits for passengers, airlines, tenants and airport employees alike. Both concourses are expected to be complete by late 2029.
