Zona de Azar USA – Las Vegas Airport Witnesses its Third-Highest Monthly Passenger Total on Record

USA.- August 30th 2023 www.zonadeazar.com According to a report by the Clark County Department of Aviation on Monday, Harry Reid International Airport achieved its third-highest monthly passenger count ever in July.

Airport officials said 4.946 million people arrived and departed from Las Vegas’ airport, a 1.7 percent increase over July 2022.

It was the third-highest number of monthly passengers behind October 2022’s 5.186 million and May 2023’s 4.953 million.

July’s figures bring the year-to-date total to 33.096 million passengers, 13.5 percent ahead of the first seven months of 2022.

The high number of passengers in July puts Southern Nevada well on track to eclipse 2022’s record 52.7 million travelers.

The steady rise in the number of passengers served at Reid has put airport executives on notice that they need to dust off plans to build a reliever airport south of Las Vegas in the Ivanpah Valley.

Clark County Department of Aviation Director Rosemary Vassiliadis affirmed in an interview in February that growth at Reid is on a trajectory to reach its capacity of between 63 million and 65 million annual passengers by around 2030.
