Alexandria International Airport

Alexandria International Airport (KAEX) is a medium airport in Alexandria, LA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KAEX or IATA code AEX. It sits in North America.

Alexandria International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 9,352 ft (2,850 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Alexandria International Airport sits near sea level at 89 ft.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 120 departing and 149 arriving private-jet legs at KAEX across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KAEX are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

Alexandria International Airport is a public use airport located four nautical miles west of the central business district of Alexandria, in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, United States. The airport is operated by the England Authority, also known as the England Economic and Industrial Development District, an independent political subdivision of the State of Louisiana. Although international commercial flight operations are not conducted, charter flights for the U.S. military to international destinations are routinely conducted from the airfield with this activity including the transportation of U.S. troops to overseas locations.
