Harry Reid International Airport will receive $31 million in federal funding to upgrade the baggage systems at Terminals 1 and 3.

Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nevada, whose congressional district includes the airport, on Monday announced the funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Airport Terminal Grant program.

It’s unclear when work will begin on the project.

“As a record number of post-pandemic travelers return to the skies and to Las Vegas, I’ve worked tirelessly to advocate for and secure critical support for Harry Reid International Airport,” Titus said in an emailed news release. “By replacing aging infrastructure, this $31 million in new funding will enhance the air travel experience, address pressing capacity needs, and better accommodate every new visitor to District 1.”
