(Reno, NV) — The first phase of planned improvements at Reno-Tahoe International Airport is complete. A new ticket hall is now open inside the airport. Construction began last October at a cost of 35-million-dollars. There is more space for additional self-check-in kiosks, oversized baggage and storing large belongings like skis and snowboards. The top of the ticket hall also features a 400-foot mural dedicated to northern Nevada’s nature. The next phase of the project includes upgrading the Ground Transportation Center and expanding the concourses.
