McCarran Tower Closed For 4th Consecutive Day

McCarran International Airport’s air traffic control tower remained closed for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday after a controller tested positive for the coronavirus late Wednesday night.

The Federal Aviation Administration closed the tower to clean and disinfect it.

Flight operations are being handled by the Las Vegas Terminal Radar Approach Control.

The first three days of the closure led to long delays and hundreds of flights being canceled, including around 400 for Southwest Airlines, McCarran’s largest carrier.
