Reno-Tahoe International Airport has announced non-stop service between Reno and Minneapolis-St. Paul beginning June 6 on Delta Airlines.
Minneapolis (MSP) is a hub airport in the recently-merged Delta-Northwest system and will provide excellent connections to international flights in Europe and Canada.
The Saturday-only service will be offered between June 6 and Sept. 6 and will feature a 124-seat Airbus 319. In the wake of the Delta-Northwest Airlines merger, the new flight is an example of the airline’s new business approach to schedule flights based on peak day and peak season.
There is currently no non-stop airline service between Reno and Minneapolis. In 2005, Northwest Airlines discontinued a highly successful daily non-stop flight between Reno and Minneapolis as a result of the airline’s bankruptcy.
The flight will depart MSP at 9:15 a.m. arriving in Reno at 11 a.m. The return flight will depart Reno at noon arriving in MSP at 5:20 p.m.
