No.

The airport is operated by the England Authority, also known as the England Economic and Industrial Development District, an independent political subdivision of the State of Louisiana. Although international commercial flight operations are not conducted, charter flights for the U.S. military to international destinations are routinely conducted from the airfield with this activity including the transportation of U.S. troops to overseas locations.

It was CommutAir “United Express” 4344 from Jackson Ms to IAH.

A commercial fight with a bomb threat. Interesting.

It is located on the former England Air Force base. EAFB has been shut down for well over thirty years now.

That damn Rapides Sheriff’s Department better hope they cleared the action through Pentecostals of Alexandria before they made any arrests. There’ll be some hell to pay if they didn’t clear it with the Manguns first.

AEX has the second longest commercial runway in Louisiana thanks to that. Better recognize.

They fly to a few cities in South La. You definitely need a passport for that.

Well, Ellick is pretty much a foreign country.

YES. The military charters international flights from there. No commercial international flights are conducted at AEX

Every now and then, it's a dildo. Of course, policy requires that they use the non-possessive "a" dildo, never "YOUR" dildo.

The one or two FBI agents with the misfortune of being assigned to Ellick are probably grateful for the excitement.

It's more humane to blow into tiny bits at 30,000 feet than it is to land in Alexandria.

We’ve got a buddy and his daughter on there. They landed, arrested 2 white guys, and de boarded.

To add, they took everyone’s belongings but our friend got a video of them getting arrested first and sent to his wife and she sent to us. Not going to post it until he is able to give permission.

They’re stuck without phones but safe.

Guys look like mid-20s white dudes in regular clothes. Weird. They’re walking handcuffed in tarmac. One has blue tshirt, black pants, and what look like some retro kicks. Other guy in black T-shirt, black pants, and all white shoes. Short hair for both.

Lol

The military uses it for several different reasons

One is to deploy troops overseas (to other countries)

But there are no commercial international flights
