Kentucky Braces For Annual Derby Influx
Louisville International Airport can expect a swarm of business aircraft next week for the 144th running of the Kentrucky Derby

While the horse-racing world is preparing for next week’s running of the Kentucky Derby, known as the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports,” the business aviation industry is gearing up for its annual invasion of the host city. Louisville International Airport, located just two miles from the racetrack, normally sees fewer than 20 business aircraft departures a day, according to data provider WingX Advance, but during the period bracketing the Derby on May 5, that will jump to as many as 350 per day.
