All four ends of MSY’s two fixed-wing runways have published approaches. The mix is particularly broad: five ILS procedures, including one with CAT II/III minima, sit alongside seven RNAV (GPS) procedures plus localiser and VOR coverage. This gives each runway alignment instrument support rather than concentrating procedures on a preferred end. At 10,104 ft, runway 11/29 provides over 3,000 ft more pavement than 02/20, making the two alignments materially different where runway-length requirements are concerned.
Lakefront and New Orleans NAS JRB have the broadest nearby procedure sets, while Port of South Louisiana, Slidell and Hammond Northshore have markedly thinner coverage. The New Orleans Sectional adds wider visual context, the Terminal Area Chart supplies more detailed local coverage, and the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds dedicated helicopter-routing information absent from the instrument procedures.
