Las Vegas McCarran International Airport Update

Transcript

Rosemary Vassiliadis:What we look forward to in 2016 is a continuation of our international growth. We know that we're going to have new announcements. Many of our current airlines are upgrading or upgauging the type of aircraft they're bringing in, so more seats are coming in, more frequencies each week. And so it's been a great, great story. Our Mexican market has been rather good. It stayed solid. South America, of course, has gone up and down with the economy, but Mexico is still pretty strong for us. McCarran is really looking forward to nonstop Asian service. We know that we have a lot of Asian visitors coming one-stop and two-stop, and so we know that the demand is here for Las Vegas, and we are pursuing that very strongly. So we think that Las Vegas would be a terrific gateway to the whole Southwest region of the United States. We're a very easy airport to come into. We're actually a low-cost airport to come into. So what we would like is for the international visitors to start their U.S. visit here and then go ahead to the rest of the West Coast.
