Passenger traffic at Harry Reid International Airport was strong in January — but not as strong as it was a year ago, the Clark County Department of Aviation reported Tuesday.

The number of passengers using Las Vegas’ primary airport for the month was 4.34 million — a 0.9 percent decline from the 4.38 million recorded in January 2023.

It was the first monthly year-over-year decline in passenger counts since August when traffic dipped 0.5 percent.

While the number of international arrivals and departures was up 19.5 percent to 281,462, domestic travel was off 1.9 percent to 4 million.
