Amid higher fuel costs and falling consumer demand, airlines have already started cutting back their service to Las Vegas. Starting in September, U.S. Airways, McCarran’s second largest operator, will offer only 81 flights to and from McCarran, down from their high of 141 flights just less than a year ago. And an advisory committee for the airlines serving McCarran has requested a reevaluation of the airport’s expansion.
In a letter to Clark County Aviation Director Randall Walker, Linda Macey, chairwoman of the airline advisory committee wrote, “The current state of the industry is at an all-time low and there is much uncertainty as to what the future holds. Specifically, we request that any nonessential expenditures be deferred and that all remaining projects be reevaluated for any and all cost savings potentials. Only those projects with a current, justifiable need should be funded at this time.”
