New Orleans Flights

When most people think about airports, either they are heading out of town for a needed vacation, or they have business to complete in another city. Either way, they themselves are traveling from one location to another.

Many times, though, when people need cargo to get from one location to another, they will not be accompanying it. Louis Armstrong International Airport, located just outside of New Orleans, has plenty of cargo options for those who need them. Louis Armstrong International Airport is the ninth largest origin-and-destination airport in the United States and has a steadily growing passenger and cargo business. The international trade is well developed and the airport is taking every step to make Louisiana more accessible to a growing Latin American market. In addition, the airport has a $1.5 billion annual economic impact and contributes 10,000 jobs to the economy.

For those needing cargo services, Louis Armstrong International Airport offers experienced ground handling personnel, a Spanish-speaking workforce, service-oriented personnel, both in and around the airport, and competitive airport user fees with incentives to promote new cargo air service. Airport cargo facilities play a large part in the efficient movement of your cargo. Louis Armstrong International Airport, as your cargo partner, has embarked on an aggressive $850 million expansion plan resulting in cargo facilities and equipment that meet your needs. Included in this plan is cargo facilities with over 312,000 square feet, a main deck loader (MDL) with a 40,000 pound capacity to assist with unloading containerized cargo from wide body aircraft, a state-of-the-art perishable facility with three coolers, and over 40 motor carriers supporting ground transportation service for air cargo.
New Orleans has a competitive advantage over other cities when it comes to transportation, whether by air, sea, or land. The overnight market, which includes areas located approximately 500 highway miles from New Orleans, reaches 33 metropolitan centers and a population of more than 43 million with an effective buying income of $664 billion. Airlines with cargo service at the airport include AeroMexico, Airborne Express, Air Canada, AirTran, American Airlines, Bax Global, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, DHL Worldwide Express, Emery Worldwide, Federal Express, Frontier Airlines, Grupo Taca, Southwest Cargo, TWA, United, UPS, United States Postal Service, and US Airways.
