Louisville International Airport (IATA: SDF, ICAO: KSDF) is a joint civil-military public airport centrally located in the city of Louisville in Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA. The airport covers 1,200 acres (4.9 km²) and has three runways. Its IATA airport code SDF is based on the airport's former name, Standiford Field. The airport is the second busiest in Kentucky behind Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport which is in Boone County, Kentucky.
The Kentucky Air National Guard's 123d Airlift Wing is based at the airport. The organization operates C-130 transport aircraft. History
Standiford Field was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1941 on a parcel of land south of Louisville that was found not to have flooded during the Ohio River flood of 1937. It was named for Dr. Elisha David Standiford, a local businessman and politician, who was active in transportation issues and owned part of the land. The field remained under Army control until 1947, when it was turned over to the Louisville Air Board for commercial operations.
Before Standiford Field became the main conduit for passenger air traffic in Louisville, Bowman Field was Louisville's main airport. For many years passenger traffic went through the now relatively small brick Lee Terminal at Standiford Field. Major construction in the 1980s resulted in the newer, more modern and much larger facilities that are used today. Most of the Lee Terminal was subsequently torn down.
Parallel runways, enabling a much higher volume of air traffic and facilitating expanded United Parcel Service operations, were also part of an airport expansion plan begun in the 1980s.

The facility is currently the size of 80 football fields and capable of handling 84 packages a second, or 304,000 per hour. With over 20,000 employees, UPS is one of the largest employers in Louisville, and in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The facility mainly handles express and international packages and letters. Worldport serves all major domestic and international hubs. Over 3.5 million passengers and more than 10 billion pounds of cargo pass through Louisville International Airport each year, making it the 67th busiest domestic airport for passengers and the third busiest for cargo (due to the its status as the primary hub for UPS The airport, currently in the midst of major terminal renovations, has three operational runways. The two parallel main runways run north/south and allow for simultaneous takeoffs and landings. The east/west runway is shorter and generally only used in adverse weather conditions.
