E1 Veterans-Airport

Due to the Hard Rock Hotel building collapse downtown, the E1 Veterans-Airport Downtown branch will detour off of Canal St. at Elks Place to continue downtown on Poydras St. until further notice. Click for details.

The Veterans route connects Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner to the city of New Orleans.

There are two branches of the Veterans route, the Veterans Airport City Park and the Veterans Airport Downtown. The bus stop at the new airport is located on the top level of the departure terminal in the middle walkway of the outside lane, closest to the exit.

The City Park branch runs from the airport along Veterans Boulevard and the Pontchartrain Expressway to the Cemeteries Transit Center at Canal Boulevard and City Park Avenue in New Orleans. From this point, passengers can connect to New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) routes, including the RTA’s Canal Street Streetcar as well as several RTA bus routes.

The Downtown branch runs from the airport along Veterans Boulevard to Causeway Boulevard. At Causeway, the Downtown branch diverts onto I-10, exits I-10 onto City Park Avenue, and continues all the way into downtown New Orleans on Canal Street. The Downtown bus does NOT stop at the Cemeteries Transit Center but does stop at several major intersections along Canal Street on its way downtown, including Carrollton Ave., Jefferson Davis Pkwy., Broad St., Claiborne Ave., and Elks Place.
