More of What You Love

 

The MoreRNO Program has entered the next phase of construction. Four projects are underway, the new concourses A and B (NewGen A&B), Central Utility Plant (CUP), Police and Airport Authority Headquarters (HQ) and Ground Transportation Center (GTC), and the bulk of construction will land within the next two years. This is the largest infrastructure investment in the airport’s history. MoreRNO will bring more of what travelers love, including greater convenience, more amenities, local bites and brands, and spaces that showcase art and the natural beauty of Reno-Tahoe.

Concourse B Construction

 

Active construction is taking place outside Concourse B on the ground floor. Most of the passenger experience will remain the same, but some may hear concrete demolition activity and feel vibrations at the B gates. 

Looking for a quieter space before boarding begins? 

  • Wait in the concourse connector
  • Relax near Timber Ridge or Vino Volo in the High Mountain Marketplace

The concrete demolition is expected to continue through spring 2026.
