## Description

South-west Louisiana runs on energy: the coast around Lake Charles is lined with LNG export terminals and petrochemical plants, but their product leaves by tanker ship, not by freighter aircraft. Lake Charles Regional Airport (IATA: LCH, ICAO: KLCH) therefore concentrates on American and United passenger links to Dallas and Houston, with no scheduled cargo. Heavy maintenance, industrial and freight work go to nearby Chennault International (KCWF), an MRO and aerospace complex on a former air force base. Regional air freight routes along Interstate 10 to the integrators at New Orleans (MSY), about 200 kilometres east.
