Alexandria International Airport (AEX)

Shown below is information related to Alexandria International Airport (AEX), the former England Air Force Base. When EAFB closed, commercial airport operations were transferred from Esler Field which is located east of Pineville.

The airport is about 4 miles from downtown Alexandria. Commercial carriers include American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast Airlines and Continental Airlines.

Rental cars are available from Avis, National, Budget and Hertz. Parc England, a boutique hotel, is just blocks away from the terminal, and Bistro on the Bayou provides a fine dining experience.

In October of 2011, the terminal was named the James L. Meyer Commercial Terminal in honor of the man who was a major driving force in the development, and success, of England Airpark.
