About This Airport

Express parcels, textiles, mail and Gulf seafood make up the freight that moves through Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Louisiana's busiest gateway and a top-75 US cargo field at roughly 390 million pounds a year. Set in Kenner on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, about 15 kilometres west of the French Quarter, MSY is primarily a passenger airport, but its cargo ramp draws a dense cluster of integrators: FedEx Express links to Memphis, UPS Airlines to Louisville, DHL serves the region, and since 2020 Amazon Air has operated a daily flight. Ground handling runs through specialists such as Air General, while Foreign-Trade Zone No. 2 – one of the oldest in the United States, granted to the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans in 1946 – allows duty-deferred storage and processing. Interstates 10 and 310 feed the terminals, several Class I railroads serve the metro area, and the Port of South Louisiana, the largest-tonnage port complex on earth, sits just upriver on the Mississippi. The airport carries the name of the New Orleans-born jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong.
