On November 4th, 2010, the Memphis Business Journal reported that Delta Connection, which operates a passenger feeder service for Delta Airlines with regional jets, had ceased service on the Alexandria-Memphis route due to poor performance. This route had been flown by Northwest Airlink when Northwest Airlines was operating a connecting hub in Memphis. Delta acquired this hub when its merger with Northwest was complete and has since consolidated many of the former Memphis routes to its larger Atlanta hub. Alexandria continues to be served on a nonstop basis to and from Atlanta.
All three airlines serving Alexandria currently operate either Canadair or Embraer regional jet aircraft. In addition to scheduled passenger airline services, the airport has also handled numerous charters performed by large, widebody passenger jet aircraft that were supporting military personnel transportation requirements.
