Henderson Executive Airport

What Henderson Executive Airport does

Henderson Executive Airport (HND) is a government-owned general aviation facility operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation, located on 760 acres approximately 12 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip with direct access to Interstate 15 and the 215 freeway. The airport serves as a primary reliever to Harry Reid International Airport and is tailored to corporate aviation pilots, charter and fractional operators, private pilots, and on-site aviation service tenants. Core infrastructure includes dual parallel runways (6,501 ft and 5,001 ft), 84 acres of ramp space, a 24,000-square-foot modern terminal, 95 private aircraft hangars, and an FAA contract tower.

The facility's commercial offering centers on full-service FBO operations, including Jet A and 100LL fuel sales (with volume discounts and 24-hour self-service 100LL), line services (luggage assistance, lavatory and oxygen service, ground power), shade hangar and open tie-down rentals (minimum six-month non-refundable terms plus two-month security deposits), and concierge amenities such as planeside limousine service, on-site rental cars, The Landings restaurant, pilot lounge, meeting rooms, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Supporting partners include World Fuel Services (Air Elite Diamond Service since 2019), on-site tenants All In Aviation, Maverick Aviation Group, and Lone Mountain Aviation, and affiliations with NBAA, NATA, FAA, and the LVCVA. The airport earned ACI-Europe ACA Level 1 Mapping certification in March 2024, formalizing a measured carbon footprint of 955 tCO2e for the 2022 baseline year.

HND generates revenue through transaction fees on fuel sales, recurring subscription rentals for hangar and tie-down space, rental car and ground transportation concessions, and tenant leases for on-site aviation businesses. Originally established as Sky Harbor in 1969 by Arby Alper and acquired by Clark County in 1996, the airport has been repositioned through more than $30 million in capital upgrades into a premier corporate aviation facility serving the rapidly growing West Henderson and southern Nevada industrial corridor.

Direct peers

• Jean Sport Aviation Center: Sister Clark County general aviation facility also operated by Bruce Daugherty; directly comparable in service mix and customer base, competing for sport and general aviation traffic in the Las Vegas region.
• North Las Vegas Airport (VGT): Sister general aviation airport also operated by Clark County Department of Aviation; comparable as a competing reliever facility serving the Las Vegas Valley with overlapping FBO and general aviation customers.
• Million Air: FBO chain specializing in premium business aviation ground services; directly comparable FBO model with fueling, concierge, and hangar services targeting corporate jet operators.

Broad incumbents

• Signature Flight Support: Global FBO network serving business aviation; directly comparable FBO service offering (fuel, line services, amenities) but operates as a multi-location commercial chain rather than a single municipal facility.
• Harry Reid International Airport (LAS): Primary commercial airport serving Las Vegas and the parent system that includes HND; comparable because it shares Clark County Department of Aviation ownership and shapes HND's reliever role.
• Atlantic Aviation: Largest US FBO chain operating hundreds of locations nationwide; comparable because it offers the same FBO fueling, hangar, and concierge services HND provides, but at national scale rather than a single airport.

Regional players

• Boulder City Municipal Airport (BVU): Nearby general aviation airport in the Las Vegas metro; partially comparable as a competing regional general aviation facility with FBO services for the same catchment.
• Scottsdale Airport (SDL): General aviation reliever airport serving Phoenix/Scottsdale with similar FBO infrastructure and corporate aviation focus; comparable as a regional general aviation facility targeting business jet traffic away from a busy primary hub.
