Atlantic Aviation has completed a $1.325 million renovation of its ramp at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, one of the service provider’s top three busiest bases. The 16-acre project was intended to upgrade its McCarran ramp to recognized standards. It addressed leveling issues and repaired distressed areas with a covering of new asphalt. An existing drainage ditch was filled in to accommodate additional aircraft parking and a new drainage system was installed during the course of the project’s two phases, which took three weeks in total to complete. According to the company, there was “insignificant interruption to the operation or service levels because of the time of year the work was scheduled, the phasing of the work and the operational plan we put in place.”

A company spokesperson told AIN that its Las Vegas FBO typically sees as much traffic around Super Bowl time as a facility in the city hosting the actual championship game.
