Monroe Regional Airport (KMLU) sits approximately three miles east of Monroe and serves Ouachita Parish and a broad Northeast Louisiana market extending toward Arkansas and Mississippi. The towered airport supports airline, cargo, corporate, charter, and general-aviation activity. From Air Direct's KPRX home base, Monroe is roughly a 35-minute repositioning flight under typical conditions.
KMLU • Monroe Regional Airport

MLU's primary Runway 4/22 measures 7,504 × 150 feet and is grooved, with ILS capability and high-intensity runway lighting. Runway 14/32 provides an additional 6,301 × 150 feet. The combination gives business aircraft useful operational flexibility in a relatively compact regional-airport setting.
Monroe Regional lists two FBOs serving corporate, charter, and general aviation. Avflight Monroe, located on the north apron, provides full-service ground handling, passenger and pilot lounges, concierge support, catering, maintenance, avionics, aircraft parts, and hangar space. DaveAir, LLC provides fuel, aircraft parking, flight training, aircraft sales and related GA services.
Monroe's aviation history is unusually significant. The airport identifies Monroe as the birthplace of Delta Air Lines, whose roots trace to aerial crop-dusting operations in the region. During World War II, nearby Selman Field became the nation's largest navigation training school. Today, MLU remains an important transportation and business-aviation gateway for Northeast Louisiana.
