Elko Regional Airport — Elko, United States

Elko Regional Airport, identified by the code EKO, serves the city of Elko in northeastern Nevada, a region historically tied to gold mining and ranching. The airport provides scheduled commercial air service connecting Elko to larger hubs, making it an important transportation link for the sparsely populated Great Basin area. Elko's isolation from major cities means EKO plays an outsized role in local business travel, particularly for the mining industry that dominates the regional economy. The airport also supports general aviation traffic and occasional charter flights. Its runway and facilities are sized appropriately for a small city airport rather than heavy jet traffic, with turboprop and regional jet service being typical.
