Private jets flood into Vegas for Mayweather vs McGregor

Next Saturday 26th August will see the much-anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor take place in Las Vegas. And we’re seeing exceptional demand for private flights to Las Vegas McCarran airport – 60% more than a usual weekend.

With ringside seats for the ‘Fight of the Century’ priced at up to $35,000, the historic bout is attracting a huge number of high net worths, celebrities and wealthy sports fans – looking to jet in and out quickly, and in style.

Most flights are domestic routes within the US, but we’re also flying clients direct from London and other parts of Europe on ultra long range jets.

Las Vegas airports likely to reach capacity

With tickets still changing hands on the secondary market we’re seeing a lot of last minute demand, and expect to see more before the weekend.

Both McCarran and nearby Henderson Executive Airport are well-placed to handle private aircraft in high numbers – on a normal day. But for this weekend, we’re advising clients to book their aircraft and airport slots as soon as possible.

As we saw in 2015 during the Mayweather and Pacquaio fight, private jets will be arriving in significant numbers and slots are likely to fill to capacity on the day of the fight. This may mean some private jets booked last minute are unable to land there.

So for those still intending to fly, we’d recommend booking as soon as possible, to secure a slot.
