LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Supervisors at Chennault International Airport say they can handle any aircraft flying in the sky today, and Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden flew out of Chennault en route to New Orleans.
There were enhanced efforts to keep the president safe during his arrival and departure from Chennault International Airport.
Chennault staff say they were confined to very tight and extensive security protocols awaiting the arrival of Air Force One.
“This kind of operational support doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes days and days of planning,” said Kevin Melton, executive director of Chennault.
