Las Vegas, NV (AP) - The end of 2020 is on final approach and it can't come soon enough for Las Vegas.
More than 1.8 million travelers passed through McCarran Airport in November, a slight drop from October and less than half the pre-pandemic traffic the airport saw a year earlier.
McCarran officials reported Monday that number of passengers tallied in November 2020 was 57% lower than November 2019.
Air travel has been among the hospitality and visitor industries in Nevada that’s been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak.
The passengers that did pass through McCarran last month were almost all domestic travelers. The number of international passengers at the airport has fallen 94% from 2019, down to just 19,000 travelers.
Southwest Airlines remains by far the airport's busiest carrier, followed by Spirit, Frontier, American and Delta.
