Lake Charles Regional Airport (IATA: LCH, ICAO: KLCH) is a public airport located 5 miles (8 km) south of Lake Charles, in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, USA.
The airport has 2 runways. They are oriented 5/23 and 15/33 and do not cross. The grounds are bounded by Lake Street to the West, Gauthier Road to the North, Highway 385 to the East, and Lincoln Road to the South. The entrance is off of Highway 385.
The old main terminal at LCH was heavily damaged by a tornado formed by Hurricane Rita and has been removed. Passenger operations are served by a smaller building on the grounds that was undamaged by the hurricane. Construction is currently underway for a new terminal, which is expected to be completed in July, 2009.[1]
On June 11, 2009, American Eagle began twice daily, non-stop service to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.[2]
