内华达州克拉克县拉斯维加斯市哈里·里德国际机场 7100 万美元行李系统升级完工，1 号航站楼 16 个转盘更新
内华达州克拉克县拉斯维加斯市消息，哈里·里德国际机场 10 月 27 日宣布，已完成耗资 7100 万美元的行李处理系统升级，历时三年的工程按时、在预算内完工，覆盖机场的两个主要航站楼。
升级旨在让行李更顺畅地流转，缓解行李提取区的拥挤，让每年数以百万计往返拉斯维加斯的旅客出行更轻松。克拉克县航空总监詹姆斯·克里斯利表示，机场现代化就是投资于保持运营可靠高效的基础设施与技术，这次升级是改善行李处理、缓解拥挤、为旅客创造更顺畅高效体验的重要一步。
在 1 号航站楼，工程团队对 8 个行李转盘进行了升级、彻底更换了另外 8 个，还安装了新的传送带与带 LED 屏幕的转盘立柱；在 3 号航站楼，工程以技术为主，更新了控制行李系统的计算机硬件与软件，提高设备运行的可靠性与效率。
该项目主要由联邦拨款资助，包括《基础设施投资与就业法案》相关资金，其中一笔重要早期资金是联邦航空管理局机场航站楼项目 2023 年 2 月宣布的 3100 万美元拨款，当时 1 号航站楼部分进港行李系统已有约 40 年历史。尽管拉斯维加斯旅游业已下滑一年多，机场仍在推进现代化，未来还计划进一步提升运力、更新老旧基础设施。
Harry Reid International Airport Completes $71 Million Baggage System Upgrade; 16 Carousels Renewed in Terminal 1
Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada — Harry Reid International Airport announced on October 27 that it has completed a $71 million upgrade of its baggage handling system, a three-year project finished on time and within budget across the airport's two main terminals.
The upgrade is intended to move baggage more smoothly, ease congestion in baggage claim areas and make travel easier for the millions of passengers who pass through Las Vegas each year. Clark County Director of Aviation James Chrisley said airport modernization means investing in the infrastructure and technology that keep operations reliable and efficient, and called the upgrade an important step in improving baggage handling, reducing congestion and creating a smoother, more efficient experience for travelers.
In Terminal 1, crews upgraded eight baggage carousels and fully replaced another eight, and installed new conveyor belts and carousel columns with LED screens. In Terminal 3, the work was primarily technological, updating the computer hardware and software that control the baggage system to improve reliability and efficiency.
The project was funded mainly by federal grants, including funds under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; a major early award was a $31 million Federal Aviation Administration Airport Terminal Program grant announced in February 2023, when parts of Terminal 1's inbound baggage system were already about 40 years old. Although Las Vegas tourism has declined for more than a year, the airport continues to advance its modernization, with further plans to increase capacity and renew aging infrastructure.
