Reno-based start-up airline aha! is launching a new route to Idaho Falls (IDA).
The new route, operated by ExpressJet Airlines, from Reno-Tahoe (RNO) to Idaho Falls (IDA) will launch on August 11, 2022.
It’s hoped that the new route will provide a host of new staycation possibilities thanks to the many tourist attractions in and around both Reno and Idaho Falls.
“We are thrilled to offer eastern Idaho residents with the opportunity to explore the incredible gaming, dining, shows, and indoor/outdoor fun of Reno and Lake Tahoe without lengthy drives or layovers,” said Tim Sieber, head of the aha! business unit at ExpressJet Airlines. “The easy access to Yellowstone, the Greenbelt, museums and other treasures will surely attract a lot of Reno residents to Idaho Falls.”
Here’s everything you need to know about aha!’s new route.
Aha’s route from Reno-Lake Tahoe to Idaho Falls will operate on Thursdays and Sundays — perfect for a long weekend break.
The short hop from western Nevada to eastern Idaho has a block time of around 1 hour and 35 minutes.
An ExpressJet Airlines 50-seater regional Embraer ERJ145 will be the aircraft to operate the route.
The jets are laid out in an all-economy 1-2 configuration.
aha! is Reno’s answer to a package vacation, offering to combine the air, hotel, and adventure elements of a vacation for its customers.
The aim is to attract would-be travelers to the Reno-Tahoe area by offering nonstop services to previously unconnected, smaller city destinations that are just a short flight away.
aha!’s ExpressJet-operated routes from Reno-Tahoe (RNO) currently include: Bakersfield (BFL), Eugene (EUG), Fresno (FAT), Medford (MFR), Ontario (ONT), Palm Springs (PSP), Pasco (PSC), Redmond (RDM), and Spokane (GEG).
Santa Rosa (STS) and Idaho Falls (IDA) will join the route map on July 14, 2022, and August 11, 2022, respectively.

Reno’s newest airline aha! has officially announced Idaho Falls (IDA) as its 11th destination.
The route, starting on August 11, 2022, will provide nonstop service between 2 of America’s most popular tourist destinations.
Here’s to aha!’s continued expansion.
