Henderson Executive Airport (IATA: HSH, ICAO: KHND, FAA LID: HND) is a public use government airport located in Henderson, Nevada, 13 miles south of Las Vegas, in Clark County, Nevada. The airport is owned by the Clark County Commission[1] and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009-2013 categorized it as a reliever airport.[2]

It was founded by Arby Alper in 1967 on 912 acres purchased from the city of Henderson, and opened in 1970 as Sky Harbor Airport.[3][4] Clark County bought the airport in 1996 and renamed it Henderson Executive Airport.[5]

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but Henderson Executive Airport is HND to the FAA[1] and HSH to the IATA[6] (which assigned HND to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan[7]). The airport's ICAO identifier is KHND.[6][8]

The airport covers 760 acres (310 ha) at an elevation of 2,492 feet (760 m). It has two asphalt runways: 17R/35L is 6,501 by 100 feet (1,982 m × 30 m) and 17L/35R is 5,001 by 75 feet (1,524 m × 23 m).[1]

In the year ending September 30, 2015 the airport had 71,323 aircraft operations, average 195 per day: 86% general aviation, 14% air taxi and <1% military. 252 aircraft were then based at the airport: 81% single-engine, 12% multi-engine, 7% jet and 3% helicopter.[1]
