A plan to expand and modernize Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas — the seventh-busiest airport in North America — received an informal go-ahead from Clark County commissioners Tuesday.
The proposal, presented by County Department of Aviation officials, would increase the number of gates at the facility’s oldest terminal, improve passenger access at the 12-year-old Terminal 3, and add new parking areas and facilities for transportation services while upgrading multiple roads. Officials say it could alleviate delays in arrivals and departures.
Before the project can begin, additional approvals are needed from various entities that use the airport — including the airlines — and a budget still needs to be determined. Aviation department officials said the project could take up to four years to complete if all aspects are included. The last major expansion at Reid Airport — 2012’s opening of the $2.4 billion Terminal 3 — took four years to complete.
The new concourses would be outfitted with new wayfinding signage and technology and other essential amenities. Many of the gates would be renumbered.James Chrisley, senior director of aviation, said the airport is getting approval from Clark County to remove a no-longer-needed flood detention basin that will create additional aircraft parking.
Chrisley said additional gates do not translate into more flights. The airport has nonstop service to 159 U.S. and international markets from 30 airlines. Other proposed changes include new access for Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing services that now utilize one floor of a long-term parking garage. The plans call for two “multimodal centers” for public transportation, rideshare and airport crew members and employee parking.
