The Super Bowl, regarded as one of the most significant sporting events globally, is set to bring a surge in air travel to New Orleans this year. As fans prepare for Super Bowl LIX on February 9, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles against the Kansas City Chiefs, both public and private airports in the city are gearing up for increased traffic.

The event will be held at Caesars Superdome, a venue with a history of hosting major sports events. The city's appeal as a tourist destination is enhanced by its cultural offerings and vibrant nightlife.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is expected to handle most of the commercial flights. Airlines like United, Delta, JetBlue, and Frontier have added additional services to accommodate the influx of visitors. However, many affluent travelers are likely to use Lakefront Airport (NEW), located near Lake Pontchartrain.

Lakefront Airport anticipates doubling its usual daily operations due to the Super Bowl. Executive Director Louis Capo remarked that "[the] Super Bowl is the Super Bowl for the airport," highlighting the anticipated arrival of NFL owners and celebrities. The airport has made logistical adjustments by closing two runways for aircraft storage and increasing fuel and tow truck availability.

Lakefront Airport's history dates back to 1929 under former Louisiana governor Huey Long. Despite challenges like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it remains a key hub for executive travel in New Orleans.

While Lakefront Airport prepares for high-profile guests, MSY continues to serve as a base for airlines such as Breeze Airways. The collaborative efforts of these airports aim to ensure smooth travel experiences during this year's Super Bowl festivities.
