Chennault International Airport

Chennault International Airport is a leading hub of aerospace activity strategically located along the Interstate 10 corridor in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Chennault’s massive runway has served the needs of civilian and military aircraft for over 30 years, and Chennault Park is home to a variety of tenants, including Northrop Grumman and Citadel Completions.

This international airport now boasts over 30 years of service to military, aircraft and non-aviation customers alike. Chennault and its tenants employ some 1,500 people, with annual payroll of $80 million. It contributes nearly $300 million to the local community every year.

Chennault’s skies see more than 3,000 operations each month, including takeoffs, landings and “touch-and-go” operations. Chennault invested over $32 million in capital improvement projects over the last five years, including a complete rehabilitation of its main runway and taxiway, which earned it the title of 2017 Airport of the Year.
