Las Vegas may need to brace for a continued dropoff in airline passengers heading its way.
A downturn in flights to Las Vegas from Canada and operational issues for one of Harry Reid International Airport’s busiest carriers have prompted a consultant to forecast a capacity downturn in the second half of 2025.
The projection is one more negative indicator for Southern Nevada’s slumping tourism industry as the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority focuses on filling the fewer planes that will be flying to the destination.
In a report to the LVCVA’s board of directors Tuesday, Atlanta-based Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting said airline capacity is expected to fall by 2.3 percent from 2024, to 34.5 million inbound seats, or roughly 95,000 seats a day.
