Heads up, pilots — expect increased traffic, delays, and limited services at Lake Tahoe (TVL) and Truckee-Tahoe (TRK) airports from July 8–15 due to the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. A temporary tower will be in place at TVL, and flight following and clearances may be delayed. Tap here for full FAA guidance.

Welcome from the General Manager

Since 1958, the Truckee Tahoe Airport District has been an integral part of the community of Truckee and North Lake Tahoe.  Located at 5,900 feet, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, we are connected by more than a runway!  With a dedicated team and volunteers, we are highly aligned with our mission.   

The Truckee Tahoe Airport aims to provide safe, high-quality services and facilities, reduce impact on our airport neighbors and the environment, and invest in opportunities that increase community safety and provide sustained benefit to the entire Truckee Tahoe region.

Robb Etnyre, General Manager
