About the Airport
North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) is the second–busiest public use government airport in both the Las Vegas area and the state of Nevada, serving as the primary airport for general aviation and scenic tours. Featuring three asphalt runways, the airport is a premier general aviation destination.
What is a Master Plan?
A master plan is a proactive document that identifies and then plans for future facility needs to ensure that airport management can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction to avoid experiencing detrimental effects due to inadequate facilities. The ultimate goal of the study is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport’s overall maintenance, development, and operation.
Why Update the Master Plan?
Clark County, Nevada, has contracted with Coffman Associates, a national airport planning firm, to prepare an update to the airport’s master plan. Through coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA), the goal is to properly plan for the timely development of the airport and ensure its continued viability from a functional, social, and environmental perspective.
