Las Vegas could be receiving another general aviation airport, according to the organizers of the proposed Las Vegas Executive Airport.

In May, the Clark County Commission unanimously approved construction permits for the new field, which would be located approximately 30 miles west of Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS). In a statement released to AIN last week, the FAA said, “After a thorough review, the FAA determined that the proposed Las Vegas Executive Airport would not affect the safety or efficiency of the surrounding airspace.” The agency noted, however, “This does not constitute an approval of the single-runway airport…Any construction, alteration to, or abandonment of the project airport requires notice to the FAA for aeronautical review.”
