Carson Airport[1][3] (IATA: CSN, ICAO: KCXP, FAA LID: CXP), also known as Carson City Airport,[2] is a public use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Carson City,[1] the capital of the U.S. state of Nevada. It is operated by the Carson City Airport Authority.[2] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it is categorized as a reliever airport.[4]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned CXP by the FAA[1] and CSN by the IATA[5] (which assigned CXP to Tunggul Wulung Airport in Cilacap, Java, Indonesia[6]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KCXP.[5][7]
