All flights are canceled today, Aug. 30, leading into tomorrow morning.
According to MSY, passengers are advised not to go to the airport today and make arrangements directly with their airlines.
After an initial assessment, MSY has identified the following issues and is currently working to address them:

  • Due to the loss of water pressure from the Jefferson Parish Water Department, several aspects of airport operations are impacted including air conditioning, communication systems and functioning restrooms. MSY is coordinating with Jefferson Parish to get an estimated timeline for the restoration of water pressure.
  • MSY lost commercial power from Entergy Sunday evening and is operating on emergency generator power.
  • All landline phones are out of service.
  • There was no significant damage to the terminal facility, but damage assessments are ongoing.
  • Crews observed various debris on the airport roadways and perimeter fence damage.
