About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO), Reno, Nevada, United States and Boulsa Airport (XBO), Boulsa, Burkina Faso would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,129 miles (or 11,472 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the large distance between Reno–Tahoe International Airport and Boulsa Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.
Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Reno–Tahoe International Airport and Boulsa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The terminal was remodelled in 1996 and 2009.
- Because of Reno–Tahoe International Airport's high elevation of 4,415 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at RNO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make RNO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In the fall of 2010, the airport opened a new 200-foot ATCT replacing the old control tower for more than 50 years.

- The closest airport to Boulsa Airport (XBO) is Bogandé Airport (XBG), which is located 35 miles (57 kilometers) NE of XBO.
