After the Super Bowl ended on Sunday evening, crews began warming up the engines of the hundreds of business jets parked in every corner of the three airports around Las Vegas. Where were these jets headed and just how many left Las Vegas after the game?
Where did business jets go after leaving Las Vegas?
A total of 525 business jets departed the Las Vegas area after the Super Bowl from Harry Reid International Airport, Henderson Executive Airport, and North Las Vegas Airport. 81 of those (15%) made the one hour flight to airports in the Los Angeles area. Airports in and near New York City saw 33 flights, while the Miami area saw 30. San Diego and San Jose round out the top five destination cities.
San Francisco and Kansas City make strong showings, obviously. Perhaps most surprising on the list of most popular destinations: Des Moines, Iowa, with seven flights.
Business jets departing Las Vegas after the game flew for an average 2 hours 1 minute, traveling to 173 airports in nine countries.
What was the farthest flight?
The aircraft that traveled the furthest after the game was VP-BLU, a Bombardier Global Express 7500, which spent 13 hours 20 minutes in the air flying to Ishigaki in southern Japan.
What about the shortest flight?
On the other end of the spectrum, N115TB, a Dassault Falcon 900EX spent just 29 minutes flying from North Las Vegas Airport to Kingman, saving 90 minutes off the estimated travel time by car.
