Louie, the St. Louis Blues mascot, stopped by our Ticket to Wellness health and safety fair to meet team members, explore the event, and bring a little Blues uplift to the day.

At the 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony, held on Friday, the TSA Honor Guard present the colors as the Mayor of St. Louis and representatives from American and United Airlines look on.

As the sun broke through the clouds, the airfield got a little extra dramatic lighting, and one of our Airport Fire Department trucks happened to be in exactly the right place for the moment.

This past Monday, STL’s nonstop flight to Frankfurt made a rare departure from Runway 11-29 instead of its usual Runway 12R-30L. The change sent Lufthansa’s Airbus A330-300 past Terminal 1 from a different angle, giving travelers parked or driving on the upper level a front-row look at takeoff!

American Airlines’ special 250th Anniversary livery recently made a stop at STL, sporting a bold red, white, and blue “250” in celebration of the United States’ Semiquincentennial.

The timing has an extra layer of aviation history: 2026 also marks American Airlines’ 100th anniversary of service.

A century in the skies meets 250 years of America and, for a little while, both milestones recently had a spot on the runway at STL.

Friday, August 14, 2026, marks the final day for Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge as STL’s Airport Director.

We’re very proud to welcome a familiar face back to the team and excited to see Officer Haynes begin this new chapter!

This week, the Lambert Art & Culture Program crew installed “ArtReach: Zines as Activism,” presented by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and Counterpublic.
Created by student artists from Sumner High School, the exhibition grew from a spring collaboration with Resident Teaching Artist Cleonique Hilsaca, visiting artists and the People’s Art and Recreation Center. Through handmade zines, students explored their hopes for a better future, for themselves, their communities, and St. Louis.

As the sun dipped toward the horizon, British Airways prepared for another nonstop journey from St. Louis to London Heathrow, framed by an evening that reminds us airports can be just as beautiful as the destinations they connect.

It’s a view our Operations team gets to experience from time to time, and we’re grateful they shared this one with all of us.

United’s Stars and Stripes aircraft recently visited STL, turning heads with a striking commemorative design to celebrate America’s 250th birthday!
