North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport

North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport (KVGT) is a medium airport in Las Vegas, NV. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KVGT or IATA code VGT. It sits in North America.

North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,005-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,005 ft (1,526 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

North Las Vegas Metropolitan International Airport lies at 2,205 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 445 departing and 375 arriving private-jet legs at KVGT across the next six months of operator inventory. 14 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KVGT are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

North Las Vegas Airport is a public-use airport 3 mi (4.8 km) northwest of downtown Las Vegas in North Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned by the Clark County Commission and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation.
