Burning Man has its own pop-up airport.
  • Hundreds of flights have landed in Black Rock City for Burning Man — tech bros' favorite party.
  • Last year, FlightAware data shows that over 2,000 flights arrived at the pop-up desert airport.
  • While the event has become more popular among the superrich, the flights have spawned criticism.

Over 880 flights descended on Black Rock Desert's pop-up airport this week as the playa opened shop for Burning Man.
