Passenger numbers at Harry Reid International Airport continued to climb in April, according to a report released [Wednesday].

More than 4.2 million passengers arrived and departed from the Las Vegas airport last month, a 46% increase from April 2021, according to the Clark County Department of Aviation. The April total was about 28,000 passengers short of the April 2019 pre-pandemic total.

Through the first four months of this year, the airport has recorded just over 15 million passengers. If that pace continued throughout the year, the airport would tally close to 45 million passengers, about 6.5 million less than in 2019.

Last year, 39.7 million passengers arrived and departed Harry Reid International.
