Lafayette Airport

A flight traveling from Houston to Gulfport made an emergency landing at the Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT).

The next step in improvements at the Lafayette Regional Airport began today as contractors brought in the big guns.

Several new additions at the terminal are aimed at making life easier for travelers.

Lafayette's Greg Leblanc was so close to this monstrous C-17 plane yesterday that you can almost see what color the pilot's eye are!

Airport Director Steven Picou says they will continue to pursue other opportunities.

With construction on the new terminal set to begin in a few weeks the amassing of equipment and materials could make parking a little tighter than usual.

The meeting is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m.

There's a reason airlines overbook flights. To the uninformed eye, it might look like they are stealing. To the trained eye, it's still stealing but they've changed the rules to make it legal.

A contract must be in place before he can be hired.
