The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority board of trustees chose Million Air as the winner of a request for ­proposals to build a new FBO at Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and now the negotiation process for the lease of the ­property is under way. Assuming the lease is signed, Million Air will start FBO operations right away while ­building a new facility. Phase one of the planned new FBO, according to the airport authority, is a $10 million FBO that would open in 2012. This would be followed by another $10 million phase to be completed by 2017.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
