Scheduled passenger service was planned to be operated with
McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jetliners; however, before any orders were placed, operations began with a single
Boeing 737-200 jet, registered N233TM and operated by its parent company Casino Express. The lone aircraft was painted in the Tahoe Air livery. Tahoe Air made its first flight to
Los Angeles (
LAX) on June 25, 1999. On July 1, 1999, the airline started service to its second destination,
San Jose, California (SJC). The carrier offered low fares in a two class cabin with inexpensive upgrades. However, by October 1999, the airline had ceased operations, never having received any of its proposed MD-80 aircraft. The demise of Tahoe Air also marked the end of airline service to Lake Tahoe, which has not seen scheduled passenger air carrier flights since. ==Destinations==
