Carson Airport[1][3] (IATA: CSN, ICAO: KCXP, FAA LID: CXP) (Carson City Airport) is three miles northeast of Carson City,[1] the capital of Nevada. It is operated by the Carson City Airport Authority.[2] The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013 categorized it as a reliever airport.
Many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is CXP to the FAA[1] and CSN to the IATA[4] (which assigned CXP to Tunggul Wulung Airport in Java, Indonesia).[5]

In the year ending June 30, 2009 the airport had 83,500 aircraft operations, average 228 per day: 91% general aviation and 9% air taxi. 223 aircraft were then based at this airport: 76% single-engine, 11% multi-engine, 3% jet, <1% helicopter, 1% glider and 9% ultralight.[1] Based aircraft include several amphibians that fly to and land in nearby Lake Tahoe.
