Henderson Executive Airport ( IATA: HSH, ICAO: KHND, FAA LID: HND) is a public use government airport located in Henderson, Nevada, 13 miles south of Las Vegas, in Clark County, Nevada. The airport is owned by the Clark County Commission [1] and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009-2013 categorized it as a reliever airport. [2]
It was founded by Arby Alper in 1967 on 912 acres purchased from the city of Henderson, and opened in 1970 as Sky Harbor Airport. [3] [4] Clark County bought the airport in 1996 and renamed it Henderson Executive Airport. [5]
Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Henderson Executive Airport is HND to the FAA [1] and HSH to the IATA [6] (which assigned HND to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan [7]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KHND. [6] [8]
The airport covers 760 acres (310 ha) at an elevation of 2,491 feet (759 m). It has two asphalt runways: 17R/35L is 6,501 by 100 feet (1,982 m × 30 m) and 17L/35R is 5,001 by 75 feet (1,524 m × 23 m). [1]
In the year ending May 31, 2022 the airport had 78,000 aircraft operations, average 214 per day: 79% general aviation, 21% air taxi and <1% military. 256 aircraft were then based at the airport: 193 single-engine, 22 multi-engine, 38 jet and 3 helicopter. [1]
