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, United States. 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]
