How has the airport team used marketing to turn the corner from declining air service and financial difficulty to tremendous growth in passengers and cargo?

Join us and learn about the airport’s marketing success, with ideas that YOU can use.

  • How do you gain air service in the midst of airline bankruptcies, customer service issues and security challenges?
  • How do you expand flights in a time when airlines are actually cutting back on service?
  • How do you approach the airlines with a marketing plan that balances their needs and yours?
  • How do you involve the community and motivate innovative incentive packages to attract additional service?

It’s not smoke and mirrors. It’s a complex process that involves many factors. Number crunching for one. It’s not just about benefits, but involves detailed financial analysis as well as positioning the unique attractions of the area.

“Reno-Tahoe International Airport – dedicated to moving you.”
