Carson Airport [1] [3] ( IATA: CSN, ICAO: KCXP, FAA LID: CXP) (Carson City Airport) is three miles northeast of Carson City, [1] the capital of Nevada, United States. It is operated by the Carson City Airport Authority. [2] The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 categorized it as a reliever airport.
Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is CXP to the FAA [1] and CSN to the IATA [4] (which assigned CXP to Tunggul Wulung Airport in Java, Indonesia). [5]
Carson Airport covers 632 acres (256 ha) at an elevation of 4,704 feet (1,434 m). Its runway (9/27) is 6,101 by 75 feet (1,860 x 23 m). [1]
In the year ending June 30, 2022 the airport had 86,088 aircraft operations, average 236 per day: 90% general aviation, 9% air taxi, and 1% military. 285 aircraft were then based at this airport: 199 single-engine, 36 multi-engine, 20 jet, 17 helicopter, 5 glider and 8 ultralight. [1] Based aircraft include several amphibians that fly to and land on nearby Lake Tahoe.
In 1985, SkyWest Airlines was operating nonstop service to Las Vegas (LAS) twice a day with Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner commuter propjets. [6]
