It’s not just Taylor Swift: Record number of private jet flights expected for this year’s Super Bowl
CNN
No one’s trip to the Super Bowl is getting more attention than Taylor Swift’s plans to fly in a private jet across the international dateline to make it from a Saturday night concert in Tokyo to be in Vegas for Sunday’s big game. But she’s not the only one arriving by private jet.
No one’s trip to the Super Bowl is getting more attention than Taylor Swift. Her plan to make it from a Saturday night concert in Tokyo to Vegas for Sunday’s big game depends on a private jet. But she’s not the only one who isn’t flying commercial. Clark County expects more than 1,000 private jets to fly in to one of four airports in or near Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, likely setting a record for that form of transportation for the well-heeled. The Super Bowl typically draws the highest number of US private jet flights of any event during the course of a year, according to WingX, which tracks private jet traffic. Those with means to spend thousands on tickets and hotel rooms to attend the game are more likely than the average Sunday afternoon fan to afford a private jet flight. And Vegas, with its flow of high rollers, is a major destination for private jets throughout the year. So it’s not surprising that the city’s first Super Bowl could be a record breaker for private jet traffic. Last year’s big game drew 920 planes flying to and from the game in suburban Phoenix, according to WingX. The record was 984 jets taking fans to Miami in 2020, just before the pandemic hit. The planes will be using Harry Reid International Airport, the city’s airport for commercial flights, which is just on the other side of the Las Vegas Strip and Interstate 15 from Allegiant Stadium, where the game is being played. They’ll also use three private jet airports – North Las Vegas and Henderson Executive Airport, each about 11 miles away in opposite directions, and Boulder City, about 25 miles to the east, near Hoover Dam.
