Frequently asked questions
What is KHND and where is it located?

It sits about 8.87 nautical miles from the Las Vegas metro area and 6.51 nautical miles from Harry Reid International. Field elevation is 2,491 feet. The airport handled 28,361 total annual operations in 2025, with 25,720 of those business aviation movements according to FAA TFMSC data. Its longest runway measures 6,501 feet, supporting a broad range of business jet traffic.
Does KHND have customs and border clearance on site?
Henderson Executive Airport does not have customs available on site. The nearest customs facility is Harry Reid International, located 6.51 nautical miles away. Crews requiring customs clearance should plan to route through that airport instead. Given the short distance between the two fields, this typically adds minimal routing complexity for flights arriving into the Las Vegas area. Dispatchers should confirm customs procedures at Harry Reid International directly when planning international arrivals.
What fuel is available at Henderson Executive Airport?
Henderson Executive Airport offers both 100LL and Jet A fuel. According to airport remarks, 100LL is available via self-service around the clock. The field is attended daily from 0500 to 2230 local time. Business aviation accounts for the large majority of traffic here, at 25,720 of the 28,361 annual operations recorded in 2025, so Jet A demand is a routine part of daily operations. Crews arriving outside attended hours should verify Jet A availability in advance.
What are the runways at KHND?
Henderson Executive Airport has two paved asphalt runways. Runway 17R/35L is the longer of the two at 6,501 feet long and 100 feet wide. Runway 17L/35R measures 5,001 feet long and 75 feet wide. Both runways are equipped with medium intensity runway lighting and PAPI visual glideslope indicators, though the PAPI systems have usable range limits noted in airport remarks. Aircraft departing Runway 17R or 35L should confirm their position on the runway rather than the parallel taxiway before rolling.
Is there a special event parking program at HND?
Henderson Executive Airport activates a prior permission required, or PPR, parking program during select special events via NOTAM. When this program is active, transient aircraft that are not based at the field must obtain a PPR number from a selected FBO for each landing. The PPR approval and confirmation number must then be entered in the remarks section of the flight plan. Dispatchers should check NOTAMs ahead of major Las Vegas events before filing flights into HND. This requirement applies only to transient, non-based aircraft.
