Over 20 years of hourly winds, the southeast-facing ends (14L, 14R) had the best headwind 50% of the time, the northwest-facing ends (32L, 32R) 50%, and winds were calm 23% of hours.
BLV departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 75% of the time across 1,381 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. 9 AM to noon departures did best (88%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (59%).
