The last few weeks have been absolutely WILD ??—and when we say exciting things are always happening at BTR, we aren’t playing games…well, maybe one or two. ?? ???? ?? From celebrating the Baton Rouge Zoo's striking new campaign to help welcome USBC Championship bowlers to BTR ?? to rolling the dice on a friendly game of Hasbro Monopoly Baton Rouge Edition with Mr. Money Bags himself, we’ve been all over the board! We celebrated the tourism and travel industry as a Louisiana Travel Association panelist at the Southeastern Louisiana University College of Business where we were able to introduce business students to the endless opportunities of aviation.?? We let the good times roll with the Krewe of Oshun Baton Rouge and celebrated the Louisiana Rare Disease Community at the Capitol. ???? BTR isn’t just about getting you where you need to go—it’s about being a part of the community and engaging with all the beautiful people, places, and things that help us thrive in the 225! #NoBoredGamesHere #BetterinBTR #CommunityMatters #ExploreLouisiana #ExploretheWorld #GetOut #GoSomewhere #FlyBTR #YourHometownAirport

The ground stop at BTR has been lifted, and all three of our airlines are back in service with minimal lines and delays. However, due to the residual impact of nationwide cancellations and delays, we recommend travelers contact their airlines or continuously check airline websites for live flight status updates, especially with the potential threat of bad weather. #FlyConvenient #FlyEasy #FlyBTR #YourHometownAirport
