The aircraft was intending to land at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans but diverted to Lakefront Airport due to weather. On January 23, 2010, a United States Navy Beechcraft T-34 Mentor trainer crashed into Lake Pontchartrain just over a mile from the approach end of the airport. The airport was quickly brought back to service, but many facilities remained in temporary trailers for years after Katrina.

While the airport soon resumed functioning, restoration of the terminal building and other facilities proceeded slowly. Lakefront Airport was damaged by hurricane-force winds and the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and a number of the hangars and outlying buildings were destroyed. The sculpture in front of the terminal, Fountain of the Four Winds by Enrique Alferez, is a local landmark.
The terminal building houses a restaurant frequented by nearby residents, the Walnut Room. The terminal building's interior retains much of its original lavish 1930s decoration, and the Art Deco exterior, obscured for decades by a "bomb-proof" facade installed after World War II, has been returned to its original appearance.
Airline service is also available to destinations in the Gulf South Region. Lakefront Airport continues as a general aviation airport with charter, private, and occasional military operations. Originally the airline airport for the New Orleans area, Lakefront Airport relinquished that role in the summer of 1946 when airline service began from Moisant International Airport (now Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport), a larger facility in the nearby suburb of Kenner. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport. Lakefront Airport ( IATA: NEW, ICAO: KNEW, FAA LID: NEW) is a public airport five miles northeast of downtown New Orleans, in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, United States.
