Pretty sure he'll have to fly into NOLA. Really don't think BR can handle a 747.


In theory it can. 4L and 22R are 7499 ft and a 747 needs about 7000 ft to land/take off. Whether or not they actually land there is probably up to the air force.

AF1 was built to land in less than optimal environments including less than 7k ft for landing and take off just fyi not that they would want to or anything

Bush landed at the BR airport in the 2000s so its certainly possible
