Clark County Department of Aviation serves Las Vegas and the surrounding area.
Following a thorough review of all business and general aviation fuel suppliers, Clark County selected Ascent and the World Fuel Services Network for another three (3) years of branded fuel supply. World Fuel Services’ innovative team of industry professionals has a proven track record of excellence and their FBO solutions proved advantageous over the other options.
