FAA finds safety concerns that could lead to collision at Las Vegas airport after review

A Federal Aviation Administration report warned of dangerous conditions at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, due to the prevalence of air tour helicopters.

The FAA said it reviewed dozens of airports in the wake of the collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter outside Washington, D.C., in January. New restrictions have been imposed in Las Vegas, which the FAA says have already reduced near-air collisions by 30%.
