About Truckee Tahoe Airport District

The Truckee Tahoe Airport, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, is a California Special Airport District and a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated General Aviation public airport. The airport is managed by the Truckee Tahoe Airport District (TTAD or District) staff, and a publicly elected five-member Board of Directors provides oversight and governance. Safety and Services The elevation of the airport is 5,900 feet and is surrounded by mountainous terrain. Safety is the top priority! The District plays a vital role in providing weather information, navigation assistance, emergency landing facilities, as well as support facilities for emergency medical, fire, and search-and-rescue services. The airport FAA identifier code is “TRK” or “KTRK.” Aviation Infrastructure Aviation infrastructure at the airport includes two asphalt runways – 11/29 which is 7,000 by 100 feet and 2/20 which is 4,650 by 75 feet – a Non-Federal Contract Air Traffic Control Tower, and an ADS-B ground station network. TTAD manages just over 200 hangars for a range of airplanes. Good Neighbor Programs Along with the commitment to safety, the airport works with the community to be a good neighbor, implementing strategies that minimize impacts of flight operations with “Fly Quiet” and Sustainable Aviation Fuel programs.
