The Port of South Louisiana Executive Regional Airport has just opened the first transient hangar at the port-operated FBO. Construction on the 6,363-sq-ft structure, which can accommodate aircraft up to a Cessna Citation Sovereign, began in summer 2016 as a self-funded $739,000 project. “It’s the first hangar constructed on the airfield that is operated by the Port of South Louisiana, which is why it is affectionately referred to as 'Hangar 1,'” said airport director Vincent Caire, adding that the other hangars on the field are privately owned.
