This Alaska Airlines aircraft recently touched down at the airport, a flying tribute recognizing members of the U.S. military and those who dedicate their lives to service.

We’re always glad to see meaningful liveries like this one pass through STL!

As part of the “Tuskegee Airmen: America’s Freedom Flyers” exhibit, STL is proud to showcase a replica of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the Tuskegee Airmen in 2006, the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow.

The exhibit, now on display in the Kling Family Gallery, honors the first African American military aviators in the U.S. Air Force and their lasting impact on aviation and American history.

Blink, and you’ll miss it!

Winter Storm Fern may have slowed things down, but it didn’t stop STL.

Thanks to the dedication of our operations teams, partners, and crews across the airport, runways were cleared, safety came first, and travel continued. Stay warm!

Some nights at STL are truly unforgettable.

Even in the most familiar places, travel still holds a little magic.

From lightning strikes to golden-hour landings, snowy runways to soaring departures… 2025 gave us a lot to reflect on.

We wanted to share our Top 10 Photos of the Week, each one telling a small part of a larger STL story.
