✈️ Burbank-to-Las Vegas Traffic Concentrated at KLAS
As of September 4, 2026, JSX still maintained a sales page for its Burbank-to-Las Vegas route. However, the new semi-private routes announced by Jettly on August 19, featuring JSX service from Santa Monica to Las Vegas and Scottsdale aboard ATR 42-600 aircraft, do not originate in Burbank. Avi-Go data show that from August 1 to September 4, 2026, there were 263 bidirectional flights between Burbank and the three Las Vegas-area airports, including 136 departures from Burbank and 127 flights in the reverse direction. KBUR—KLAS accounted for 212 flights, representing 80.6% of the sample total; the remainder comprised 36 bidirectional KBUR—KHND flights and 15 bidirectional KBUR—KVGT flights. This indicates that during the reporting period, business aviation activity between this city pair was primarily concentrated at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, while Henderson Executive Airport and North Las Vegas Airport handled the remaining 51 flights.
Impact: With KLAS handling more than 80% of bidirectional flight activity, demand for ground handling, transfers, and passenger services for Burbank traffic is more concentrated at this airport. Meanwhile, KHND recorded 18 flights in each direction, reflecting balanced traffic and positioning it as a smaller but stable supplementary airport for this city pair.
Recommendation: Relevant service providers can allocate handling and transfer resources based on KLAS’s primary volume of 212 flights, while separately tracking the 36 flights at KHND and 15 flights at KVGT to determine whether the distribution among the three airports changes after September 5, 2026. JSX can also monitor its existing Burbank sales page separately from the new ATR 42-600 product originating in Santa Monica to avoid conflating assessments of the two origin markets.
