Airport Operations Update
Summary
Contour's CEO pitched adding Las Vegas and LAX as hubs beyond Phoenix and Denver and said Las Vegas service could launch in 45–90 days if the city amends the contract. The airport's certification caps aircraft at 30 seats, limiting capacity, though the CEO said a 50-seat plane would likely be payload-restricted in summer heat anyway.

Contour's Las Vegas route launched July 2 with good public feedback, though June on-time performance dipped to 84% with six early-June cancellations; an FAA inspection comes in August and a taxi lane reseal needs rework.

Hangar tenants lose access to some hangars starting April 20 for about a month during taxi lane rehab, and the runway closes for one full day around May 12 for a seal coat. Plan flights accordingly.
