Reno Air to Discontinue Gulfport-Biloxi Service

    RENO, Nev., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Reno Air, Inc. (Nasdaq: RENO);
(PCX: RNO) today announced it will discontinue service to Gulfport-Biloxi in
order to improve profitability and focus on its core markets.  Effective
June 1, service between Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. and Atlanta, Ga. and
Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. and Tampa/St. Petersberg, Florida will be discontinued.
    Reno Air is working closely with the Jet Service Task Force in Gulfport to
find replacement air service to link those markets.
    "It is a difficult decision to pull out of any market, especially a market
with so much community support and such a committed employee workforce," said
Reno Air CEO Joe O'Gorman.  "However, it is imperative that we focus on
rationalizing our schedule, reducing costs and restoring profitability."
    In addition to Gulfport, Reno Air recently made several organizational and
schedule adjustments that focus on cost and operational efficiency.
    Passengers whose travel plans are affected by this change will be
contacted by a Reno Air representative.
