MSY Airport Flight Status - Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Flights into New Orleans land at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, known by its IATA code MSY and its ICAO code KMSY. The airport is located at coordinates 29.9934, -90.2647 in the United States and is classified as a large airport. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from MSY airport right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above the radar carry the flight-by-flight times and status; the sections below add background from our own measurements so that picture is easier to read. MSY is also one of the United States airports you can reach from our airport overview.
Our 30-Day Traffic Measurement at MSY
Separate from the live radar, we run our own reception measurement of the aircraft near MSY. The traffic level in our data is average, and over a 30-day period that measurement recorded an average of 8.3 aircraft observations per day. The busiest window in those 30 days fell between 00:00 and 02:00 on our measurement clock. That clock runs in UTC rather than New Orleans local time, so keep the difference in mind if you use the window to decide when to watch the radar. Everything in this section is reception data: aircraft we actually picked up near MSY during those 30 days, not airline schedules and not passenger statistics.
Airlines in Our MSY Data
Three airlines stood out in the same 30-day measurement at New Orleans airport. Southwest Airlines was the carrier we recorded most often, with 64 observations; for individual flights, see the Southwest Airlines flight status page. American Airlines was picked up 33 times over the 30 days and has its own American Airlines flight status page. Delta Air Lines appeared 27 times in the measurement, and the Delta Air Lines flight status page is its counterpart on this site. The order of those numbers, with Southwest ahead of American and Delta, is a measured result from MSY itself over those 30 days, not a nationwide ranking.
Nearby Airports
The nearest alternative to MSY in our data is Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, 104 kilometers from New Orleans. Slightly farther out, at 124 kilometers, sits Gulfport Biloxi International Airport, and Lafayette Regional Airport completes the list at 167 kilometers. Neither of the two closest is around the corner, but when a cancellation or a long delay appears on the MSY arrivals or departures page, one of them may still be moving flights, and a distance of 104 or 124 kilometers can be workable for a traveler who has to fly the same day. Check the status picture at the alternative before committing to the drive.
