More than 4.24 million airline passengers arrived or departed from the nation’s 8th-busiest airport last month. That’s a 3.6 percent jump from the same period in 2016, a spokeswoman said. County aviation director Rosemary Vassiliadis has said she believes McCarran will set a record this year. The current record of 47.8 million airline passengers was set in 2007.
