About the Event

 

Operation Santa Claus is an opportunity to show the heart of aviation to our community and a chance to deliver the holiday spirt to those in need.

Benefitting the Children’s Cabinet, Operation Santa Claus is a collaborative effort between Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) and Reno-Tahoe Aviation Group (RTAG) with the support of Atlantic Aviation and numerous local businesses and individuals to make Christmas magical for families who wouldn’t otherwise have the resources to celebrate the holidays.
