## Description

Interstate 80 and the Union Pacific main line, not aircraft, carry the freight of Elko County: ore, mining equipment and consumables all move overland. Elko Regional Airport (IATA: EKO, ICAO: KEKO), also known as J.C. Harris Field and owned by the City of Elko, sits at 5,140 feet with a 7,454-foot main runway 6/24 and a short crosswind runway 12/30. Scheduled service is flown solely by SkyWest as Delta Connection on CRJ-550 jets to Salt Lake City, and the airport recorded 12,881 passenger enplanements in 2024, up from 10,723 in 2023. There are no scheduled freighter operations; air cargo is limited to what travels with general and business aviation handled through the FBO, where Mountain West Aviation is present. Customs clearance is not available at the field, so international consignments clear elsewhere. Real air freight capacity sits at Salt Lake City International (IATA: SLC), about 233 road miles east, or Reno-Tahoe (IATA: RNO), roughly 290 miles west. Since 1 July 2025 SkyWest has operated a second midday rotation to Salt Lake City, backed by a Small Community Air Service Development grant.
