MCCARRAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT EXPANSION

McCarran International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the country. McCarran serves both short and long haul markets, along with international markets. In 2014, Airports Council International ranked McCarran ninth in North America and 25th in the world for passenger traffic, with approximately 43 million arriving and departing passengers each year. 2014 observed an increase of over 1 million more passengers over 2013, or a 2.4% increase in traffic. With over 30 air carriers, McCarran provides nonstop service to domestic and international destinations including Canada, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom and South Korea. 2014 was the highest year on record for international tourism, with over 3.3 million visitors to the Strip.

Major expansion and improvements totaling $3.5 billion include Terminal 3 that opened in 2012 and the new $100 million control tower was completed in early 2015. The 1.9 million-square-foot expansion of Terminal 3 increased the airport’s annual capacity to approximately 55 million passengers.
