Lake Charles, LA, September 24, 2007 -- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Transitional Field Office Director Jim Stark addressed a group of local, state and federal officials on the second anniversary of Hurricane Rita and the ground breaking for the new Lake Charles Regional Airport terminal, which was completed in 2009. The new facility replaced one destroyed by Hurricane Rita. FEMA provided more than $2.7 million for the project. Photo by Manuel Broussard/FEMA. Lake Charles Regional Airport (IATA: LCH, ICAO: KLCH, FAA LID: LCH) is a public use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) south of the central business district of Lake Charles, a city in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. Owned by Calcasieu Parish, the airport serves approximately 375,000 people in the Lake Charles – Jennings combined statistical area.
The airport has two runways. They are oriented 5/23 and 15/33 and do not cross. The grounds are bounded by Lake Street to the West, Gauthier Road to the North, Highway 385 to the East, and Lincoln Road to the South. The entrance is off of Highway 385.
A new state-of-the-art terminal building was officially opened to the public in 2009. Built in the Louisiana plantation architectural style, it is a two story terminal with one concourse. In 2009, American Eagle began twice daily, non-stop service to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Facilities and aircraft
