Press Release from Lafayette Regional Airport

Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) will conduct its Triennial Full-Scale Emergency Drill with coordinating agencies on Thursday, March 21, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The airport is required to conduct this comprehensive exercise every three years by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The exercise will simulate an aircraft crash scenario on LFT premises, providing a rigorous test of our Airport Emergency Plan and Airport Security Plan. This drill enhances our coordination and response capabilities in the event of an actual emergency and helps ensure the safety and preparedness of our airport and community.

In addition to LFT’s Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting unit, local fire departments, Acadian Ambulance, local hospitals, police and sheriff’s deputies, and other first responders will participate, arriving on Tower Drive at 8:30 a.m.

As part of our commitment to transparency and safety, we kindly request the support of the news media to inform the public about this exercise. We encourage news coverage the day before the exercise – Wednesday, March 20 – and on morning newscasts on March 21, as well as in local newspapers, social media platforms, and radio broadcasts.

Lafayette Regional Airport appreciates your assistance announcing this essential training exercise.
