Lake Tahoe News embarks on 3-part series about airport
Allegiant Air was the last commercial airline to service Lake Tahoe Airport. The final flight was in August 2000.
Will commercial service return to South Tahoe?
Will the TRPA, League to Save Lake Tahoe and state Attorney General’s Office let South Lake Tahoe do what it wants?
Have lessons been learned?
Will improvements to aircraft matter?
Will the noise of bickering be louder than that of the planes?
Read Lake Tahoe News July 5-7 as we delve into these issues.
Noise and air pollution have little to do with an airline being economically feasible here in South Lake Tahoe. Filling seats (or the lack of filling seats) has everything to do with an airline making it. Having only 5 months of potential business, it would be a daunting task for an airline to succeed here. I wish that weren’t true, because I loved being able to fly in and out of here for a reasonable price before the airlines were deregulated.
Kae, I am asking this question here instead of an email to you in case others have this problem. Why does your site run so slow? I have a new computer, less than a year old, I use charter internet service, very fast, and almost all the sites I visit load and change pages very fast. Not yours, any ideas why? I am not a “computer geek”, maybe a setting needs changing, but your site runs so slow, I don’t visit as often as I use to. Thanks for your help.
Steven thanks for raising this issue. I feel and have acted just as you. It is very slow vs the vast majority of sites.hope this can be addressed.
ditto. often takes too long to load so sometimes i give up and skip reading.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one with this site running slow. Can it be fixed Kae?
How about KizmeTech, the site developer, can they speed the site up?
Loads incredibly slow on firefox on home computer (with fast charter internet)sometimes won’t load at all, slightly quicker on chrome.
I’m looking forward to these articles. The airport can be a great asset but due to deregualtion, no airline uses it. Not even on a weekly basis. I’ve heard there are/were problems with the hangers and one person storing a plane there actually had water running through the hanger and ended up with major engine damage. Is that still the situation today?
I hope that those that are commenting as to the speed of the sight have been sure to kick a little something to LTN.NET to insure that we have this forum! I’m sure they are, as all who use this site on a regular basis ought to.
