Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) – The Gateway to the Crescent City
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the primary commercial airport serving the Greater New Orleans region and Southeast Louisiana. Named in honor of the legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong, MSY is more than just a travel hub—it is a reflection of the city’s unique cultural spirit, world-class hospitality, and growing global reach. Located in Kenner, Louisiana, just 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans, MSY serves millions of passengers annually and continues to expand its services to meet the demands of both business and leisure travelers.
From its modern terminals and efficient security checkpoints to its dynamic dining options and vibrant atmosphere, MSY is designed to deliver a welcoming and memorable experience to all who pass through its gates.
A Modern Airport with Historic Roots
Originally opened in 1946 as Moisant Field, the airport was renamed in 2001 to honor Louis Armstrong on his 100th birthday. Today, MSY stands as a symbol of New Orleans’ evolution, offering travelers a modern, tech-forward facility rooted in Southern hospitality.
In 2019, MSY unveiled a brand-new, state-of-the-art terminal complex featuring 35 gates, expansive passenger amenities, and a streamlined passenger experience. Designed with both form and function in mind, the new terminal emphasizes comfort, convenience, and efficiency—offering amenities such as mobile charging stations, quiet seating areas, and improved concessions that highlight local cuisine and culture.

MSY is served by all major U.S. airlines, including Delta, American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, and Alaska Airlines. It offers direct domestic service to major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago, as well as international routes to destinations in Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean.
The airport is a popular hub for tourism, corporate travel, oil and gas crews, government officials, and private aviation clients—making it one of the most dynamic and diverse airports in the Gulf South.

In addition to commercial air traffic, MSY is a central hub for private aviation and VIP travel. The airport features multiple FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) such as Signature Flight Support and Atlantic Aviation, which provide fueling, hangar space, and executive lounges for private jet travelers.
