The special air traffic procedures will affect operations at Las Vegas Harry Reid Intentional (LAS), Henderson Executive (HND) and North Las Vegas Airport (VGT).
Additionally, there is a special event parking program reservation requirement (PPR) for all operations into LAS, HND and VGT between Oct. 10-17, which must be obtained through your FBO prior to your operation.
Arrival and departure procedures will be in place between Monday, Oct. 13 and Friday, Oct. 17.

Increased arrival demand is expected for HND between Oct. 10-17 with a significant number of scheduled arrivals for aircraft display exhibitors on Monday, Oct. 13. Structured arrival procedures will be used.

When required, traffic management initiatives to include scheduled metering delays, ground stops, ground delay programs, structured routing, miles-in-trail and altitude capping may be used to evenly distribute traffic into the Las Vegas area.
Flight plans should be filed at least 12 hours prior to the proposed time of departure, but not more than 22 hours. To maintain program integrity and minimize delays, airborne changes of destination between LAS, HND or VGT will not be accepted. Duplicate flight plans or same call sign with multiple times to these airports are subject to removal from the system.
