American Airlines Airbus A321 Maintenance Issue Causes 22-Hour Flight Delay From Dallas/Fort Worth To Las Vegas

The aircraft was about to perform its first passenger flight after spending six months on the ground.

The first flight back to Sin City featured showgirls, cake and Virgin Mary mocktails.

Officials say the proposed service would influence Nevadas tourism scene and increase access to the West Coast.

The region is in desperate need of a higher-capacity reliever airport.

A total of 24 airlines operate passenger flights at Harry Reid International Airport’s Terminal 3.

The airport has a perimeter rule which caps the number of longer flights.

The name change was done to honor Senator Reid’s contributions and remove McCarran’s controversial legacy.

The airline sent a replacement aircraft, another Boeing 737-800, to take the passengers to Las Vegas.

Will it do better than Norwegian on the route?

The aircraft will eventually replace the carrier’s A340 long-haul fleet.
