New flights and an improving economy helped the Reno-Tahoe International Airport post its first annual growth in passengers in a decade.
The Reno airport reported serving 3.43 million passengers in 2015, a 3.9 increase from the previous year.
The numbers include especially strong traffic during the holiday season. Reno-Tahoe International saw 286,432 passengers in December, an 8.6 percent increase from the same month in 2014. The airport also reported seven straight months of passenger growth.
