Here is an update on the status of the New Orleans Lakefront Airport inoperative ILS. A source in the FAA whose information I trust has advised that construction is scheduled to begin soon on the replacement of the ILS and other lighted navaids at Lakefront Airport. The expected charting date for the ILS is April 2008. I am also given to understand that a temporary Air Traffic Control Tower will soon be in operation.
Here is an excellent example of what we can achieve simply by shining the light of day on a festering problem. This airport has been without these services since Hurricane Katrina struck.
