Alexandria International Airport
Alexandria International Airport occupies a low-lying site, 89 feet above sea level, in central Louisiana, serving the city of Alexandria even though its grand name overstates the airport's actual, more modest scale, which lands it in the medium category. Central Louisiana sits well inland from both the Gulf Coast and the state's larger cities, and Alexandria functions as a regional center for this part of the state. Dallas, Houston, and other larger hubs connect directly to the airport, giving central Louisiana residents an alternative to a multi-hour drive to a bigger airport.
