High-Traffic Events Like NBAA Convention Straining Las Vegas
Airspace
On the eve of their annual convention in Las Vegas (NV), we
got this from the NBAA:
We are pleased that this year’s NBAA convention is
drawing record numbers of attendees. However, the event (in
conjunction with other high draw Las Vegas events) is straining
local air traffic and FBOs to their operational limits. As a
result, aircraft overnight parking during the annual NBAA
convention in Las Vegas is reported to be at capacity for McCarran,
North Las Vegas and Henderson airports. In addition, it has been
reported to NBAA that "drop and go" reservations are no longer
being accepted at either FBO at LAS.
