Passenger flights to resume Tuesday at N.O. airport

[brooklynite]

Commercial air traffic will resume Tuesday at Louis Armstrong International
Airport, Aviation Director Roy Williams said.

Commerical cargo flights have already begun.

"We've had a lot of demand from our carriers to begin service again,
and we're ready to do that," Williams said.

The resumption of service comes despite the fact that the airport is
located in Jefferson Parish, which is closed to everyone not already in
the parish.

But Williams said both Jefferson Parish and Kenner have agreed to allow
the opening in order to serve areas not under closure orders.
