Lafayette Regional Airport (LF1) is a small, non-hub airport that provides air service to major 

hubs ( ATL, DFW, and IAH) for connecting service. Three airlines provide service- American 

Eagle, Delta Connection <md United Airlines. Twenty-one daily flights offer 1,150 seats 

available for passengers. A summary of the service from the Lafayette Regional Airpot1 is listed 

below by each airline: 

American Eagle offers four daily flights to Dallas/Fort Worth. Aircraft used are Embraer ERJ145 jet aircraft with seating capacity for 50 passengers for a total passenger capacity of200 

people per day. 

Delta Connection offers six daily flights to Atlanta. Aircraft used are CRJ- 200 jet and 

Embraer ERJ- 145 jet aircraft with seating capacity for 50 passengers for a total passenger 

capacity of 300 people per day. 

United Airlines offers eleven daily flights to Houston (IAH) which comprises fifty percent of 

the flights from LFT. Aircraft used are Embraer ERJ- 145 jet aircraft with seating capacity for 

50 passengers and Bombardier Q400 with seating capacity of 70 passengers and one daily flight 

on a SAAB - 340 turbo prop aircraft with seating capacity of 34 passengers for a total passenger 

capacity of 650 people per day. 

The top destinations for passengers flying to/fi:om LFT are Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Atlanta, 

and New York. Average round-trip air fares range from $287 to/from Dallas, $365 to/from 

Denver, $572 to/from Las Vegas, $287 to/from Atlanta, and $491 to/from New York. 

Lafayette Regional Airport is the major airport for the state's region that is refetTed to as the 

Acadiana Region. The pm·ishes within this region include Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, 

St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion. The airport is located within the city of 

Lafayette, which is the major metropolitcm area for the region. The catchment area for the 

airport is 640,872 residents. 

Historical Air Service 

Since collecting enplanement data, LFT has fluctuating enplanement rates, especially during the 

past twelve years. LFT saw a substantial increase in passenger bom·ding until 1998, when it 

peaked with 214,000 enplanements. In 2000, American Eagle began to cut its service tolfi.·om 

LFT and entirely left the Lafayette market in March 2002 as a result of 9/11. The airline 

returned to the Laf.·tyette market in April 2006 and currently offers four flights per day to/from 
Dallas/Fort Wot1h. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita created abnom1al conditions for the majority of 

the airports in Louisiana. 2006 enplanements rose by 8.5 percent over 2005, and 2007 

enplanements increased 9.5 percent over 2006. By 2008, air travel to/from New Orleans 

stabilized and enplanements at LFT declined by five percent. During 2009, enplanement figures 

dropped another one percent. It is currently estimated that LFT loses 35 percent of the regional 

flying market to other airports, which ammmts to approxin1ately 75,000 passengers annually. 

Factors, such as direct flights and lower airfares, indicate that the leakage of air traveler 

passengers from the Lafayette/ Acadiana Region to other markets will continue if mitigating 

measures are not implemented. 

Past Air Service Development Efforts 

In 2004, LFT received a grant through the Small Community Air Setvice Development Program 

for a three-year grant period to address the decline of enplanements and provide methods to 

increase enplanements. Through a partnership with the Louisiana Department of Economic 

Development, the Lafayette Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Lafayette Economic 

Development Authority, an aggressive marketing program was developed and implemented. 

Television, radio, and outdoor adve11isements targeted the core market in Lafayette Parish. A 

significant pot:tion of respondents (forty-four percent); surveyed in an in-terminal survey, 

remembered the advertising efforts, and a comparable number (forty-two percent) remembered 

the "Fly Lafayette" slogan used in the ads. 

In addition, a 36-page economic development brochure that prominently featured Lafayette 

Regional Airport was developed and is cunently being used by the Lafayette Convention & 

Visitors Bureau, Lafayette Economic Development Authmity, Lafayette Pruish Consolidated 

Govenunent, and many other private businesses and governmental agencies to attract and 

provide comprehensive infonnation about the Acadiana Region to potential businesses and 

visitors. 

Research conducted as part of this grant showed that a major banier for the Lafayette market was 

a lack of air service to/from Dallas/Fort Worth. The LAC and its partners effectively convinced 

American Eagle to return to the Lafayette market in April 2006. During the next two years, the 

. leakage rate dropped from 64 percent to 40 percent. 

In 2008, the leakage of regional passengers choosing to fly out of New Orleans began to increase 

with LFT realizing a five percent loss of enplanements. A major advertising campaign was 

launched targeting the business and leisure traveler. Radio, TV and print media was utilized to 

encourage individuals to "Fly Lafayette." During 2009 and early 2010, the airport's website was 

redesigned. A major addition to the website was the inclusion of a travel cost calculator that 

allows travelers to compare the complete cost (parking costs, mileage, and aitfare) to fly to/from 

Lafayette to comparable costs to fly to/from Baton Rouge or New Orleans. 

During 2011, a new airport sign with an LED screen was installed on US Highway 90, a heavily 

traveled road located at the entrance to the airport. This screen rotates images promoting all 

three airlines as well as local events. The visibility of this sign raises public awareness of the 

airport and the airlines that fly in/out of the area. It also creates awareness of the airport to 

travelers fi·om the surrounding pal'ishes that flights are available in Lafayette. 
The "Fly Lafayette Club" loyalty program has been reintroduced with new incentives. 

Membership has increased from 164 members initially in Mm·ch 2011 to 3,513 in June 2012. 

Two permanent touch-screen kiosk data collection centers have been installed at the airpmi 

terminal to obtain traveler data and allow them to sign up for the free club. Prize incentives from 

more than 50 local businesses are offered to entice travelers to become members. Members 

swipe a magnetic striped card at the kiosk to enter a monthly drawing every time they fly. Data 

can be tracked, and it allows the airpott to detennine which members are the most frequent 

flyers. The program has attracted national media attention as an example of how loyalty 

programs help smaller airports ret(lin enplanements. It's been featured in USA Today 

newspaper, in Airport Councils International of North America's trade magazine 

Centerlines, on NBC's Today show, and in local newspapers and TV news stories. 

LFT expanded in 2011 with the addition of Vision and Allegiant Airlines. These low cost 

carriers committed to the Lafayette market for limited tin1e periods with incentives like 

providing marketing funding and the waiving of landing and rental fees for a set time period. 

Vision Airlines flew from LFT to Destin, FL twice a week for approximately 10 weeks in June 

and August of2011. The flight schedule offered by Vision Airlines was limited to twice a week 

and was not very well received by Acadiana's flying public. 

·Allegiant Airlines flew two direct flights a week from Lafayette to Las Vegas from November 

2011 through Febmary 2012, with an average monthly load factor of76.3 percent. One of the 

major issues that arose with the Allegiant flight was lack of gate parking space as all of the other 

airline carriers cmTently have evening flights occupying all of the available gates at LFT. 

Additional jet parking space would have eliminated many of the difficulties incurred by 

Allegiant dming their time at LFT. 

In November of 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration named Lafayette Regional Airport, 

the Louisiana Airpot1 of the year for the second time in six years. 

Air Service Needs and Deficiencies 

In 2008, enplanements at LFT fell by five percent. During this same year, enplanements in New 

Orleans grew by five percent. Enplanements for 2009 demonstrated a continued trend with a 

decline of an additional one percent. Enplanement figures for New Orleans have retumed and 

exceeded rates prior to Hurricane Katrina demonstrating that individuals are again choosing to 

fly out ofNew Orleans. 

Two of the top five destinations for people flying to/from Lafayette are Dallas and Atlanta. 

These destinations are direct flights and passengers typically connect to other flights from these 

destinations. Destination cities where Lafayette retains 65 percent or less of passengers include 

Denver, New York, Washington D.C., Miami, and Orlando. Four of these destinations are on the 

east coast. 

Direct flights and low airfares offered by low cost cm1·iers are the primary factors for air traveler 

leakage to other airpmis. Low cost carriers offer direct flights and airfm·es that are 40 percent 

less than the aitfm·es for the top five destinations that air travelers fly to/from Lafayette. An 
average round trip airfare from Lafayette to New York City costs $491, while low cost caniers 

offer flights from New Orleans-tQ New York City for $251. 

A major deficiency is a lack of education and understanding of the overaii time and cost of air 

travel. Generally, an air traveler looks at the amount of air travel time that it takes to get from 

one destination to another. Travel time to another airport that is not within their close 

geographic location is not taken into consideration. The additional costs, such as the gas and 

wear and tear costs of a vehicle as well as higher parking fees are not factored into the overall 

cost for their travel. 

Strategic Plan 

In an effort to stop the leakage to New Orlem1s and create space for additional catTiers, the 

La£1yette Airport Commission (LAC) will implement plan to achieve the following goals: 

• Continue to work to reduce the leakage of Lafayette travelers flying in/out of other 

airports 

• Continue to work to retain and increase flight service to/from Lafayette 

• Increase the aircraft capacity to!fi·om Lafayette 

Airline Communication Program 

Through a working partnership Lafayette Airp01t Staff m1d members of management of the 

cUtTent three air carriers that serve Lafayette work to inform and gain feedback about flight 

service to/:fi'om Lafayette. The LFT aviation director will report on the current demand for flight 

services within the region, including upcoming tourism events. economic issues such as new and 

expanding businesses and industries, and the potential need to increase aircraft capacity at LFT. 

These meetings will also provide information on the regional marketing initiative and request 

input and suggestions from the air carriers to increase the aircraft capacity at LFT. Another 

objective of these meetings will be discussions about the possibility of the current air carriers to 

offer non-stop service to other major hubs, such as Charlotte, Newark, Washington D.C., and Las 

Vegas. 

Another initiative includes research m1d discussions on the possibility of obtaining additional air 

cruriers to fly to/from Lafayette. This effort will begin with m1 exploratory stage that will also 

take into consideration the possibility of losing a current carrier that is already serving LFT if 

another air carrier came into the market. 

Research & Regional Marketing Program 

In an effort to reach the secondm·y market of the Acadim13 Region, m1 aggressive marketing 

program is targeted to three key outlying catchment areas -New Iberia, Opelousas, and 

Rayne/Crowley. Implementation will begin by conducting focus groups in these m·eas to gauge 

passenger leakage to other airports, ascertain impressions of Lafayette Regional Airport, ask 

what would motivate participants to use the airport more often, and what competing airports they 

use and why. 

The marketing program will be utilized to educate two different target audiences: the tJ:aditional 

baby boomer/business flyer and the 18 - 49 age flyer. The traditional baby boomer/business 
flyer relies on newspaper, television and radio for information. The 18 - 49 flyer relies on the 

web and social networking, such as Facebook and Twitter for receipt of information. An 

aggressive marketing program will be implemented that will increase the marketing message to 

these two different audiences throughout the Acadiana Region. 

Social_Networking 

As pmi of the effort to reach new audiences, this project promotes its "Fly La:fuyette" message 

through social media. The LAC website will be constantly updated, including a mobile 

application for smart phones, to provide individuals with immediate, new information to help 

educate and provide the best solution to their flying needs. Information will also be shared 

through an e-newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, and any other social medias that have become 

popular and available. 

Promotions 

Numerous promotions continue to be offered, especially through the Fly Lafayette Club. Prize 

incentives to members such as free dhmers, attraction passes, hotel stays, and logoed 

merchandise are offered by entering drawings at one of the airport kiosks or through other online 

promotions. The LCVC is a_partner through a two-month Eat Lafayette event in which local 

diners receive discounts from local restaurants. LCVC will also include the airport in their 

convention infmmation and at regional meetings and conventions. 

Media Advertising 

Advertising in the regional newspapers, television stations, and radio stations will target the two 

different audiences. Ads have been designed to interest the traditional baby boomer/business 

flyer while other ads- were designed to interest the 18 - 49 age casual flyer. The selection of 

newspapers, television and radio stations was determined for each target audience with the days 

and times of scheduled adve1iising being a part of the decision making process. 

Increase Aircraft Capacity 

The existing tenninal was dedicated in 1959-, expanded in 1968, and expanded again in 1987, 

bdnging the total squm-e footage to 55,300. The enplanements in 1987 were 106,445. 

Enplanements since 1987 have doubled with enplanements in 2011 at 228,380, but the tenninal, 

although there have been upgrades and improvements since 1987, the size has not increased. 

The number of gates necessary for aircraft boarding has not changed since 1987. Cunently, 

there are no gates available for additional carriers to be added to LFT. There is parking space for 

five aircraft, and currently., there are five aircraft that arrive beginning at 20:01 and are stationed 

overnight at LFT. 

LFT is used as a diversion airport for both New Orleans and Houston. With room for parking 

only five aircraft, there is not sufficient room with the existing operations to park any diversions 

at the terminal. In the past few years, we have at times had up to 14 diverted aircraft on the 

airfield at the same time. With new regulations regarding passengers sitting on ait·craft on the 

tarmac, safety concems regarding aircraft attempting to fly in turbulent weather may be created. 

In order to entice low cost air carriers into Lafayette, it is going to be necessm-y to increase the 

number of gates available for aircraft, therefore increasing the capacity of the terminal. The 
Lafayette Airport Commission has hired a consultant to begin addressing the future needs of the 

airpmt with a preliminary study necessary to plan for the future. 

Some of the major issues experienced with our existing terminal are: 

o Airport airside of the terminal is too small to accommodate additional aircraft or 

gates 

o Space inside the sterile area is too small to allow enough boarding room for 

additional passengers 

o Insufficient area in the lobby to add additional ticket counters for new airlines 

o Restrooms inside the sterile area are undersized to accommodate cun·ent 

passenger levels 

Public/Private Partnership 

Two area organizations have agr~ to partner with the LAC for this project. The Lafayette 

Convention & Visitors Commission (LCVC) will be a prutner ru1d will provide $80,000 in 

advertising and promotional assistance of the airpott and its programs. The LCVC promotes all 

aspects of the Acadiana region including conventions, spmting events, concerts and area 

festivals. The LCVC also promotes area attractions, hotels and eating establishments. A major 

function of the LCVC is assisting domestic and international tour operators and travel agencies 

with group. travel needs. Major assistance is also provided for conventions and trade shows, with 

the majority of these organizc1tions requiring air travel assistance. 

Lamar Advertising is the largest outdoor signage company in the Acadiana region. This 

company has prime outdoor billboard spaces throughout the seven-parish region. Lamm· 

Advertising has agreed to donate space on no less than six billboards every month throughout the 

three-year project. Each billboard rental space is valued at $900/month for a total donation of 

$194,400 over the three-year period. 

Program Budget 

The Lafayette Airport Commission (LAC), in anticipation of increasing airline service to the 

Acadiana Region, realizes it must increase the size of its existing terminal. LAC has already 

conducted a preliminary study and is working on a concept design. The next step will be a 

schematic and developmental design at an estimated cost of$1,500,000. The LAC, in 

pattnership with the Aviation Section of the LA Department ofTransportation and Development, 

is requesting a match of $750,000 from the Small Community Air Service Development Grant 

Program. 

Funding Assurances 

The LAC will utilize approved accounting procedures to track the project's expenditures as 

outlined in the DOT contract. The LAC staff will be responsible for the administration of the 

grant and the monitoring of the project's goals and objectives. The LAC will accept all grant 

assurances, that all funds (federal, state and local) intended for this project will not be diverted to 

other uses, as required in the tem1s and conditions of the grant offer. 
Monitoring of the Program 

The LAC staff will be responsible for the monitoring of the program's goals· and objectives. 

Monthly reports will be prepared and provided to the LADOID and the LAC. The monthly 

report will reflect the progress of each component of the program and whether the objectives are 

being completed in a timely mru.mer. 

Each report will include the monthly enpfanement report and an analysis of the enplanement rate. 

The rate will be monitored to detetmine if enplanements are increasing and/or leveling off from a 

negative decline. Each component of the marketing plan will be monitored and reported on a 

monthly basis. 

All efforts and contacts with airlines will be reported on a monthly basis to evaluate the success 

of retaining and increasing flight service to/1i·om Lafayette. Monthly results of the "Fly 

Lafayette" will be reported as well as the number of"hits" that were received on the airport's 

website, Facebook page, Twitter, and e-newsletter. 

Four quarterly reports will be prepared each year to update the progress of the design. Upon 

completion of the three year program, a final report will be prepared and submitted along with 

documentation of the plans. 

Continuation of the Program Upon Completion of the Grant Period 

With a larger tem1inal and availability of additional gates with room for additional carriers, 

through increased revenue fi·om additional enplru.1ements, the LAC will be able to maintain an 

aggressive marketing program that will provide funding for continued mru.·ket research and 

programs that will focus on meeting the needs of air travelers, changes in the airline industry as 

well as changing conditions within the Lafayette market and the state that may impact air travel 

service to/from Lafayette. 

Legal Sponsor 

The Lafayette Airport Conunission, a public goverrunental elltity of the Lafayette Consolidated 

Government will be the legal sponsor for this program. The LAC has the legal authority to 

assume the responsibility to ensure that all funding under federal, state and local laws will be 

can-ied out for all aspects of tlus grant program.
