Harry Reid International Airport hosted a record high of 52.6 million passengers in 2022, according to figures it released on Monday. That shatters its previous record of 51.5 million, set in 2019, representing nearly 13 million more travelers and a 32.6 percent increase over 2021.
Here’s the bad news – it leaves only 10 million-12 million more passengers before Las Vegas’ only major airport reaches its capacity. That’s expected to happen around 2030.
We feel that we’re going to start getting hit with delays on the airfield by the end of 2029 or maybe by 2030,” Clark County director of aviation Vassiliadis recently told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Unfortunately, it means painful years for airlines and that we need a second commercial airport.”
