Truckee Tahoe Airport (KTRK) will be closed Thursday, September 17, from 7:00 PM through 7:00 AM Friday morning, except for firefighting and emergency operations.

The temporary overnight closure is being implemented to maintain the highest level of safety while extensive firefighting aircraft, personnel, maintenance crews, equipment, and vehicles are staged at the airport in support of the Floriston Fire.

Pilots operating at KTRK during the day Thursday should use extreme caution and expect transient parking to be located near the Tower.

Alpha Taxiway is closed from the Runway 11 run-up area through Foxtrot until further notice.

Pilots should monitor current NOTAMs for the latest airport closures, restrictions, and operational information.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation as firefighting crews continue their work from KTRK.

Due to hazardous wind conditions, this Saturday’s Free Mountain Flying Course has been postponed. We’re working to identify a new date that allows us to bring back the same high-quality flight instructors originally scheduled for the event. We’ll announce the rescheduled date as soon as it’s confirmed. Thank you for your understanding, and as always, fly safe.

Service Interruption: Beginning Wednesday Sept. 16 at 11:00 AM, expect a temporary service interruption, including likely no mobile fueling. Final details will be published in the NOTAMs as they’re confirmed.
