Carson Airport (IATA: CSN, ICAO: KCXP, FAA LID: CXP) (Carson City Airport) is three miles northeast of Carson City, the capital of Nevada, United States. It is operated by the Carson City Airport Authority. 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 and CSN to the IATA (which assigned CXP to Tunggul Wulung Airport in Java, Indonesia).
Facilities
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).
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. Based aircraft include several amphibians that fly to and land on nearby Lake Tahoe.
Historical airline service
In 1985, SkyWest Airlines was operating nonstop service to Las Vegas (LAS) twice a day with Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner commuter propjets.
