FBO ground transportation, explained.
Most private flights into New Orleans use one of four FBOs: Signature or Atlantic at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY), or Signature or Flightline First at New Orleans Lakefront Airport (NEW/KNEW). Your operator chooses the FBO; we meet you at whichever one it is.
MSY or Lakefront?
Lakefront sits on Lake Pontchartrain about 6 miles from the French Quarter and CBD, so the drive into the city is shorter. MSY in Kenner is about 15 miles from downtown and takes larger aircraft and international arrivals with on-site customs. Both are inside our flat-rate area, so the transfer price is the same either way.
Where FBO passengers usually go
- Downtown and French Quarter hotels: Ritz-Carlton, Hotel Monteleone, Windsor Court, Four Seasons
- Garden District and Uptown residences and private clubs
- Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
- Ochsner and Tulane medical centers
- Caesars Superdome events
- Baton Rouge, the Northshore and the Gulf Coast, billed by the hour
