Despite a drop in ticket sales, wealthy individuals are still attending Burning Man in style, arriving in private planes at a temporary airport within the festival. The airport sees about 500 takeoffs and landings a day, with professional air traffic controllers ensuring safety. The airfield is rolled and watered nightly to maintain safety and reduce dust. Scenic flights are also offered for free to participants as part of the festival's trade economy.
