Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (IATA: BTR, ICAO: KBTR, FAA LID: BTR), also known as Ryan Field, is a public use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) north of the central business district of Baton Rouge, a city in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, United States.
The airport was originally Harding Army Air Field during World War II and was used by the United States Army Air Force Technical Service Command as a maintenance and supply base. Today other than the runways, virtually no traces remain of the military installation. Facilities and aircraft
The airport covers an area of 1,250 acres (506 ha) at an elevation of 70 feet (21 m) above mean sea level. It has three runways: 4L/22R is 7,500 by 150 feet (2,286 × 46 m) with a concrete surface; 4R/22L is 3,799 by 75 feet (1,158 × 23 m) with an asphalt surface; 13/31 is 7,004 by 150 feet (2,135 × 46 m) with an asphalt surface.
Air Traffic Services are provided by dedicated Air Traffic Controllers in the tower and the Terminal Radar Approach Control.
For the 12-month period ending November 30, 2008, the airport had 111,257 aircraft operations, an average of 304 per day: 67% general aviation, 20% air taxi, 7% military and 6% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 148 aircraft based at this airport: 61% single-engine, 21% multi-engine, 11% jet and 7% helicopter.

Cargo airlines
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport has a 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m) cargo facility. It is currently being expanded to 68,000 square feet (6,300 m).
Struggles
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport is relatively small for a city and metro area of its size due mainly to its proximity to New Orleans' Armstrong International Airport. Despite aggressive advertising campaigns encouraging catchment area residents to utilize the airport, passenger numbers are somewhat low (below 800,000 passengers per year).
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and the ensuing increase in Baton Rouge's (temporary and permanent) population, BTR saw its destination portfolio expanded dramatically. New services were initiated to Cincinnati, New York City (both Newark, New Jersey and LaGuardia airports), Chicago-O'Hare, Denver, Washington-Reagan, St. Louis, and Orlando. The new destinations were discontinued by the end of 2008 as New Orleans air service returned to pre-Katrina levels. After experiencing record fuel prices in 2008 and the subsequent recession, the carriers returned their focus to the most efficient hub options for BTR, resulting in the current service schedule of daily jet flights to five major hubs.
All of the service at the airport is provided by regional jets. The regularly scheduled service includes operations by Delta Air Lines to Atlanta (1 CRJ700 a day) and Memphis (CRJ200), Continental Airlines to Houston (ERJ 135 / ERJ 145), and American Airlines to Dallas/Fort Worth (ERJ 145). In June, 2010 US Airways added new regional jet service to its largest hub in Charlotte, N.C.
Expansion and development
Louisiana Aircraft Inc., a fixed base operation on the south side of the airport has been purchased by a real estate developer. The developer has plans to build more hangar space and has purchased the old Capitol Jet Center / LuxJet FBO located on the east side of the airport. Future plans include a ramp and hangars on the north side of the airfield. The increase in hangar space is most noticeable during the College Football season. This future expansion is causing the Army National Guard armory of the 769th Combat Engineer Battalion to relocate to the other side of Baton Rouge.
On June 24, 2010, US Airways commenced operations to several regional destinations from BTR.
