Frequently asked questions
What is the runway configuration at KVGT?
North Las Vegas Airport operates three paved asphalt runways. Runway 07/25 is the longest at 5,005 feet with a width of 75 feet. Runway 12R/30L runs 5,000 feet, also at 75 feet wide, and is designated the calm wind runway. Runway 12L/30R is the shortest at 4,199 feet with the same 75-foot width. All three surfaces are asphalt, and aiming point markings are set at 1,000 feet on every runway.
Is fuel available at KVGT?
KVGT stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel on the field. North Las Vegas Airport is towered and operates on an attendance schedule of 0500 to 2230 local, every day of the week. Dispatchers should note the field elevation of 2,205 feet when calculating performance figures, particularly during summer months when density altitude runs high. Fuel type availability is drawn from FAA-reported data rather than a specific vendor listing.
How does KVGT handle customs clearance for international arrivals?
North Las Vegas Airport has no onsite customs service. The nearest customs facility is Harry Reid International, roughly 8.09 nautical miles away by ICAO code KLAS. Crews arriving from outside the United States should plan to clear customs at that facility before or after operating into KVGT. This distance and routing should be built into flight planning and slot coordination well ahead of arrival.
What lighting is available at KVGT when the tower is closed?
When the control tower at North Las Vegas Airport is closed, pilots can activate runway edge identifier lights on runways 07/25, 12L/30R, and 12R/30L via CTAF. The same activation covers PAPI on those same runway pairs, plus medium intensity runway lighting on all three runways and taxiway lighting. Runway guard lights are installed at all runway intersections regardless of tower status. Clearance delivery when the tower is closed is available by contacting Las Vegas approach on frequency 124.0.
Does KVGT require prior permission for parking during special events?
North Las Vegas Airport activates a PPR parking program during special events when a NOTAM is issued. During those periods, transient aircraft operators who are not based at the field must obtain a PPR number from an FBO for each landing. The approval and confirmation number comes from the selected FBO handling the request. That confirmation number then needs to be entered in the remarks section of the flight plan before arrival.
