About this Location

Facility Overview

NOLA Airport Parking LLC provides secure, dedicated airport and commercial vehicle parking situated at 1601 Airline Drive in Kenner, Louisiana. Positioned directly along the primary US-61 arterial corridor, the facility operates as an expansive open-air surface lot engineered specifically to cater to long-term and short-term air travelers flying out of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Because the property is arranged as a surface-level lot with no overhead parking decks or structural beams, it boasts unrestricted vertical clearance. This open-air layout easily accommodates oversized pickup trucks, lifted 4x4s, high-roof conversion vans, and full-size SUVs that regularly exceed standard airport multi-story parking garage height maximums.
