Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

This heliport is not closed. It is currently active and operational under the official FAA identifier 1LA2. The ICAO code 'US-10879' is a non-official identifier from a third-party database that incorrectly lists the facility as closed.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the heliport remains operational.

Current Status

The site is an active, private-use rooftop heliport for the Louisiana State Police Air Support Unit. It is officially designated as Louisiana State Police Troop A Heliport (FAA LID: 1LA2). It is used daily for law enforcement operations, emergency response, and maintenance of the LSP's helicopter fleet. The heliport is a crucial component of the state's public safety and emergency management infrastructure.

Historical Significance

The heliport is located on the rooftop of the Louisiana State Police (LSP) Headquarters in Baton Rouge. It has served as a critical base for the LSP's Air Support Unit for decades. The unit was established to provide aerial law enforcement capabilities across the state. Operations from this heliport have historically included and continue to include: high-speed pursuit assistance, criminal surveillance, search and rescue missions (including post-hurricane response), traffic enforcement, dignitary transport, and providing aerial support to other state, federal, and local law enforcement agencies. The unit operates a fleet of advanced helicopters, such as the Bell 407, from this location.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and continues to be fully operational.
