Elko Regional Airport (EKO/KEKO) is a city-owned public airport about a mile northwest of downtown Elko, Nevada, serving northeastern Nevada's mining, ranching, and outdoor-recreation travelers. It provides scheduled regional airline service plus general aviation facilities, with a compact terminal that keeps arrivals and departures quick. The airport's high-desert setting at roughly 5,100 feet offers easy access to the Ruby Mountains and the Interstate 80 corridor.
💡 Local Tip
Elko's elevation is about 5,100 feet, so drink more water than usual and give yourself a little extra time if you're not acclimated; frequent visitors also know to check the wind forecast because afternoon gusts are common.
🚖 Getting There
Rental cars are available at the terminal, but taxis and rideshares can be scarce, so arrange a pickup or reserve a car in advance. Downtown Elko is only a few minutes away by car, and Interstate 80 is easily accessible for trips to Reno, Salt Lake City, or the Ruby Mountains. If you arrive outside scheduled flight times, confirm terminal access and transportation before you land.
