As anticipated, NetJets emerged as the dominant player regarding private jet flights during Super Bowl XLVIII. According to WINGX analysis, NetJets operated 214 flights to Las Vegas between Feb 9 and 11, making it the largest private jet operator globally under the umbrella of Berkshire Hathaway. Notably, flights departed from airports such as KLAS (Harry Reid), KHND (Henderson Executive), KVGT (North Las Vegas), and KBVU (Boulder City). Flexjet followed in second place with 46 flights, while Las Vegas-based operators Cirrus Aviation and Thrive Aviation had 25 and 20 flights, respectively. By-the-seat JSX, known for scheduled flights using private terminals, recorded 27 arrivals over the three days. However, overall arrivals were down by 19% compared to the previous year's game in Phoenix, with Las Vegas registering 882 arrivals compared to 1,085. Despite the decline, NetJets stood out, constituting 24.3% of arrivals. Meanwhile, NetJets and the union representing its pilots, NJASAP, reached a preliminary agreement for a new contract. Interestingly, no airports from the Kansas City or San Francisco areas reached the top five origins. Van Nuys topped the list with 100 flights to Las Vegas, Scottsdale with 41 flights, and Los Angeles International Airport with 34 flights. Bob Hope Burbank and John Wayne-Orange County contributed 32 and 29 Vegas-bound departures, respectively.
