SPECIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

In anticipation of a significant increase in the number of aircraft operating to and from the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area throughout the week of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the following procedures will enhance safety and minimize air traffic delays.

SPECIAL EVENT PARKING/RESERVATION PROGRAM

Due to the high volume of air traffic anticipated during the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix activities, a parking and airspace slot reservation system will remain in effect for arrivals and departures, including drop-and-go operations, to and from airports in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, between Tuesday, November 19, and Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The following flights are exempt from the parking PPR and airspace slot reservation: regularly scheduled air carriers and air taxi operations, including flights operating under Title 14, Chapter II, Subchapter D, Part 380, which covers Essential Air Service under the Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP).

Participating airports include Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS), Henderson Executive Airport (KHND), North Las Vegas Airport (KVGT) and Boulder City Municipal Airport (KBVU).

Review the airport’s NOTAM for parking PPR/airspace slot reservation information, and as directed in the NOTAMs contact your preferred FBO at that airport, or the Airport Authority.

Operators without parking PPR/airspace slot reservations should expect substantial delays in and out of the area with possible denial of service.

VFR PILOT CLARIFICATION

VFR services will be limited or unavailable within the Las Vegas TRACON airspace as well as the surrounding Los Angeles Center sectors. Please contact the FBO or Airport Authority where you are based and at those locations where you intend to arrive/depart for additional information.

LOCAL VFR OPERATIONS/TRAINING FLIGHTS
