Harry Reid International Airport had the second highest number of monthly passengers for the year, the Clark County Department of Aviation reported Monday.

The airport serving Las Vegas reported 4.8 million passengers in September, a 25.9 percent increase over the previous year. It was also the best September on record for the airport.

“These numbers are further proof of why we are among the most, if not the most, recovered airports in the country, and even the world,” Reid spokesman Joe Rajchel said. “The demand for Las Vegas remains incredibly strong, and we anticipate that will continue in the coming months.”

The airport nearly doubled the number of international passengers for the month compared with last year, and domestic passenger traffic was up 21.6 percent over September 2021.
