The Carson City Airport provides general aviation services to tenants and transient aircraft operators. The Carson City Airport is completely self-sustaining and retains one third of the tax revenue it generates from fuel flowage fees, personal property tax from aircraft and property taxes from hangars. The airport retains approximately 30% of the tax revenue generated and the remainder goes to Carson City to be used for education and public safety.
While boasting of the lowest fuel prices in the region, its enhanced and modernized infrastructure, and its close proximity to Lake Tahoe, Reno and other destinations, the Carson City Airport has securely been established as the “Heart of the Sierras”.
