Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport
Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA), previously known as Ivanpah Valley Airport, is a new commercial airport in development by the Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA), located approximately 23 miles (37 km) south of the Las Vegas hotel/casino corridor along Interstate 15 (I-15) between the towns of Jean and Primm in Clark County, Nevada. The Airport is intended to provide long-term aviation capacity for the Las Vegas metropolitan area primarily serving domestic, international, charter and cargo flights. The new airport site covers an area of 6,000 acres (25 km2) and an additional 17,000 acres (69 km2) of land that are set aside as a compatibility buffer, making the new airport site over 23,000 acres (93 km2). The new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) will be the second international airport serving Southern Nevada along with the landlocked Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) which has experienced robust growth in passenger count in recent years as Las Vegas has become a major destination market for leisure, conference, sports, as well as a growing business hub, making Harry Reid International Airport the sixth busiest airport in the United States. Clark County Department of Aviation officials are expecting Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to reach its full capacity of 63 million passengers annually by 2030. Construction
Construction of the new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) is expected to begin by 2029 with completion by 2037. The new airport will be the single largest public works project in the history of Nevada. Terminals and Gates

The initial layout of the new airport features multiple terminals with 153 gates and two runways, RWY 18L-36R (12,000 feet long by 150 feet wide), and RWY 18R-36L (15,000 feet long by 200 feet wide) which will make it one of the longest civil runways in the United States. The runways will be capable of handling some of the largest and heaviest aircraft in the world. Once completed, the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) will rival some of the largest airports in the United States, such as Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Denver International Airport and will rank as one of the top 7 largest airports in the United States by land area. Economic Impact
The airport will have a positive economic impact for the Greater Las Vegas Metropolitan Area and the nearby towns of Goodsprings, Primm and Sandy Valley. The new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport will generate increased economic activity, connect communities, maintain and improve infrastructure, and improve Nevada’s transportation network. The new airport is expected to create thousands of construction jobs, and thousands of permanent jobs once the airport is complete. Access to Airport
The Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) will be accessible from Las Vegas via Interstate 15 (I-15) at the Jean exit, as well as from the towns of Goodsprings and Sandy Valley via Nevada State Route 161. Formation of New Airport Town
The Nevada State Legislature, on March 10, 2023, approved Bill SB19 by unanimous vote for the creation of a new commercial town in Clark County for the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA). A name for the new town has yet to be selected. History
The airport project, previously called the Ivanpah Valley Airport, has been renamed to Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA). The Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA) is developing the new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) on land that was conveyed by patent, by an act of Congress, to Clark County pursuant to the Ivanpah Valley Airport Public Lands Act of 2000. Clark County is authorized to acquire an additional 17,000 acres of land from BLM, under a provision in the 2002 Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act, to serve as a compatibility buffer surrounding the new airport. The land use and zoning surrounding the new Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) will be compatible with normal airport operations. References
