RENO,
Nev., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- aha!,
powered by veteran ExpressJet Airlines, is excited to become a part
of the Santa Rosa/North Bay Area region with its inaugural nonstop
flight from Reno on July 14, 2022. This first flight begins
aha! service between Reno-Tahoe International Airport and
Charles M. Schultz-Sonoma County Airport.
"We are very appreciative of the warm reception we've had since
announcing Santa Rosa as one of aha!'s newest routes - even
Snoopy is celebrating with us today!" said Tim Sieber, head of ExpressJet's aha!
business unit. "We're thrilled to be able to provide passengers
with an easy nonstop flight between Reno-Tahoe and Santa Rosa - two
destinations that offer a blend of urban adventures and outdoor
recreation."
Nonstop Flights = Two Travel Days
Saved
Travelers can replace a four-to-five-hour drive or painful
layover with a quick 57-minute nonstop flight. Flights will operate
each Thursday and Sunday departing Reno Tahoe International Airport
at 3:40 p.m. PT arriving at Charles
M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport at 4:37 p.m.
PT. Return flights will depart Santa Rosa at 5:15 p.m. PT and arrive in Reno-Tahoe at
6:12 p.m. PT.
"Connecting these two recreational hot spots is a fantastic
addition to our local airport," said James
Gore, Chair of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and
representative for District 4, which includes the airport. "This
gives our residents the opportunity to enjoy all that the
Reno-Tahoe area has to offer and gives the Northern Nevada residents an excuse for a
hassle-free wine country getaway. An absolute win-win for both
markets."
