Truckee Tahoe Airport

Truckee Tahoe Airport is an FAA-designated public Regional General Aviation airport. It is situated in Martis Valley approximately two miles southeast of Truckee, California and seven miles northwest of Lake Tahoe. The airport straddles both Nevada County and Placer County lines. It is managed by the Truckee Tahoe Airport District, a bi-county Special District, (1 of 9 Special Districts in California). It attracts aviators, tourists and the general public alike, all enjoying the outdoor Sierra Mountain lifestyle and aviation in general.

In 1933 an airstrip was cleared near the current agricultural inspection station on I-80. It was used by Boeing as an emergency landing runway for the trans-Sierra airmail route between San Francisco and Salt Lake City.
