## Description

Federal money arrived in August 2025 to reseal the pavement of runway 18/36, all 5,494 ft of it — routine maintenance at a field that ranks as Louisiana's largest general aviation facility. Beauregard Regional Airport (IATA DRI, ICAO KDRI), run by the Beauregard Parish Airport District southwest of DeRidder, works two runways of 5,495 ft and 4,220 ft across more than 4,200 acres, yet carries no scheduled passenger or cargo service and covers its own costs. Its wide grounds regularly host military exercises, including parachute jumps by Fort Johnson personnel. There is no cargo terminal and no on-site customs clearance for air freight. Shippers move volume through Lake Charles Regional (LCH) some 50 mi south, or through Houston (IAH), the nearest intercontinental freight gateway. Trucking follows US 171 and Interstate 10, the standard road feeder route for the region's timber, paper and petrochemical shippers.
