Expect 100K passengers a day soon at Las Vegas airport

More than 100,000 airline seats a day will become routine by summer at Harry Reid International Airport, aviation experts told the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors Tuesday.

“It’s never been easier to get to Las Vegas on a plane,” Joel Van Over, senior director of Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting, told the board.

Van Over and Cheryl Smith, the LVCVA’s director of air service development, said international flights are now considered fully recovered from the restrictions of COVID-19.

International lift will increase in June when Virgin Atlantic Airways restarts nonstop service between Harry Reid International Airport and Manchester, England.
