New Orleans Lakefront Airport Car Service
Short answer: we meet private aviation arrivals at SkyBorne Aviation, the FBO at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, and take them anywhere in the region. A ride from Lakefront to a French Quarter hotel is $123.50 in a sedan or $162.50 in an SUV, all-in with gratuity and fuel surcharge, and usually takes under 15 minutes.
The airport sits on the lake about four miles from the French Quarter, which makes it the closest private aviation airport to downtown New Orleans. If your trip is to the Quarter, the CBD, Uptown or the Garden District, landing at Lakefront instead of MSY usually saves 15 to 20 minutes on the ground.

Send your tail number and estimated arrival when you book. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, meets you planeside where the FBO allows it or in the FBO lobby, loads the luggage and takes you straight to your destination.
