aha!, powered by veteran ExpressJet Airlines, announced today that it will increase flying between Southern California's Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) on Saturday, August 27, in anticipation of an influx of customers traveling to Burning Man 2022.  The additional flight gives "burners" across Los Angeles convenient access to Black Rock City, the temporary metropolis located in Nevada's Black Rock Desert and just a short drive from the Reno Tahoe International Airport, the nearest commercial airport and gateway to Burning Man.

"aha! is one of the fastest growing regional airlines in the Western US, as demonstrated by our recently announced service to Santa Rosa, Boise, and Idaho Falls, and the additional Ontario flight is perfectly timed for our customers in the LA basin who are seeking easy access to Burning Man 2022," said Tim Sieber, head of ExpressJet's aha! business unit. "Our network is focused on bringing people to and from the Reno-Lake Tahoe region, and Burning Man provides us with an excellent opportunity to add an extra frequency so more people can experience aha! flying as they journey to Black Rock Desert to experience this world-renowned event."

aha! operates the roundtrip Ontario-Reno route with 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 regional jets and is regularly flown on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  

The Burning Man festival runs from August 28 through September 5, 2022. The additional nonstop Ontario-Reno flight is conveniently timed for "burners" and will depart Saturday, August 27, at 3:00 p.m. PT.  The return Reno-Ontario flight will depart Tuesday, September 6, at 12:50 p.m. PT. Fares are available on the flights for as low as $55* each way.
