AOPA Sees Red over Super Bowl Event Pricing
Aircraft arriving in Vegas this week will be hit with costly special event fees

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest draws of private aviation traffic to Las Vegas, even when the championship game is played in another city. On Sunday, Vegas will host the big game for the first time, and its airport authorities are bracing for an aerial invasion.

With Las Vegas airports in full preparation for a surge of general aviation traffic this weekend for Super Bowl LVIII, AOPA is crying foul over the special event fees being levied on aircraft operators by local FBOs and the county airport authority.

The organization, along with the support of numerous pilot groups across the country, is encouraging the U.S. Senate to support an amendment by Sen. Ted Budd (R-North Carolina) that would allow pilots access to public-use airports with “fair, reasonable, and transparent fees.”
