St. Louis Lambert International Airport is located in St. Louis County, which is adjacent to the City, approximately 15 miles northwest of the City’s central business district, and approximately 10 miles from the population center of the St. Louis metropolitan area. The Airport was originally established by Major Albert Bond Lambert and other aviation pioneers on a 160-acre site. The Airport was acquired by the City in 1929 and subsequently expanded to slightly more than 3,600 acres.

The airfield at the Airport provides four all-weather runways and each runway end is served with an instrument landing system.  Landings can be performed in all weather conditions, including the most inclement and adverse situations.

The Airport’s terminal facilities include Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1 contains approximately 1.01 million usable square feet of building space and is comprised of the Terminal 1 domes and four concourses (Concourses A, B, C and D) with 57 aircraft gates in a mixed configuration. Terminal 2 has approximately 340,000 thousand square feet of building space with 18 aircraft gates (including the four easternmost gates of Concourse D).

Terminal 1 has two active concourses, A and most of C. Concourse A has 15 gates: six are leased by Delta Air Lines, five by United Airlines, one by Air Canada, two City Gates are available for lease or per-turn use and one gate is not currently in use. Concourse C has 29 gates: one is leased by Southern Airways Express, one by Alaska Airlines, seven by American Airlines, two by Frontier Airlines and one by Spirit. Four are available for lease or per-turn use, and 13 gates in Concourse C are not currently in use. Concourse B is available for rental on an occasional basis as a public event space and is not currently in use for airline purposes, but is available as a hold room space for passenger airlines. Concourse D has 13 gates available that are inactive at this time.

Terminal 2 consists of one concourse with 18 gates. Southwest Airlines leases 17 gates in Terminal 2. One City Gate is available for lease or per-turn use. Lufthansa, which began non-stop service to Germany in June 2022, currently uses the City Gate on a per turn basis. Three of the Terminal 2 (one City Gate and two Southwest leased gates) are available for arriving flights requiring United States Customs and Border Protection services. There are no unused gates in Terminal 2.

The Airport is currently a “Medium Hub” by Federal Aviation Administration classification, as it enplaned less than 1 percent of the total passengers in the United States in 2021.
