ESF Airport (Esler Army Airfield / Esler Regional Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Helicopters of the Louisiana National Guard clatter over the pine woods north-east of Alexandria, where Esler Army Airfield shares a single field with the civil Esler Regional Airport (IATA: ESF, ICAO: KESF). The Guard has held the site on a 99-year lease from the Rapides Parish Police Jury since 2001 and runs Army Aviation Support Facility #2 here alongside exercises for neighbouring Camp Beauregard; roughly 60 per cent of movements are military, the remainder general aviation. There is no airline service, no cargo handling, no ground handler and no customs post — the strip dates back to a Second World War training base and remains a training and maintenance site. Commercial shipments for central Louisiana move through Alexandria International Airport (AEX) about 15 km away, a former air force base with a correspondingly long runway. Intercontinental air freight and the integrators are reached via New Orleans (MSY) some 300 km south-east or Shreveport (SHV) around 200 km north-west, while the Red River inland port at Alexandria offers a multimodal option for heavy and bulk consignments. For forwarders, ESF is not a transfer point.
