The Louisiana Airport Passport Program is supported by the Aviation Division of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The program promotes safety and education by encouraging recreational flight to all of Louisiana’s public-use airports. It also supports general aviation airports, area businesses and tourism. Any licensed pilot, from any state, and their passenger(s) may participate. Pilots and their passenger(s) may earn three different levels (bronze/silver/gold) of recognition awards by flying into airports, attending safety seminars and visiting Louisiana’s aviation attractions.
