LAS VEGAS (AP) – More than 3.5 million passengers passed through McCarran International Airport in May, an indicator that Las Vegas is heading for a post-pandemic comeback.
Airport officials released last month data on Friday showing a significant increase in pedestrian traffic at the main Las Vegas airport. The total number of travelers was 600,000 more than in April, according to the Clark County Department of Aviation.
However, the 3.5 million travelers in May are about 23% fewer than in May 2019, more than 4.5 million.
McCarran has received more than 12 million passengers so far this year. That’s a 41% decrease from 2019’s 20.7 million.
