The Airport has a new runway and that picture currently in use is about 4 years old, we need a new picture that shows the new runway as well. I have found one, but I do not know how to put it on an Article. If someone can help me that would be great.—Precedingunsigned comment added byMoairguard (talk •contribs)22:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the FAA diagram is not usable at all. I even downloaded the file and opened it in Irfanview and couldn't read any of it no matter what I did. Considering the file is useless, other than seeing the basic runway/taxiway layout, it certainly is large.Traumatic (talk)23:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There appears to be a large amount of items in this article that are written in language promoting advertisement. Large amounts of incorrect grammer have also been found all over the article. I will attempt to correct some of these things. Please if anyone can also assist in creating sub-categories and helping to put everything together in a more logical order would be much appreciated!Kcuello (talk)04:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:STL.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used underfair use but there is noexplanation or rationale as to why its use inthis Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion.

There is a table of number of flights between cities and St. Louis athttp://www.stlcommercemagazine.com/archives/january2007/transportation.htmlThis information might be worth including in theLambert-St._Louis_International_Airport article.Dan Dassow21:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, there is no longer any service to Pittsburgh. That route was stopped sometime in 2007.—Precedingunsigned comment added by216.49.221.163 (talk)14:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If a section on former airlines is appropriate, then the section is woefully incomplete.
AlthoughTrans World Airlines was the major tenant for Lambert Saint Louis Airport, is TWA truly a former airline serving Lambert Saint Louis Airport?American Airlines acquired Trans World Airlines. Many of the former TWA aircraft still are in American’s fleet. Likewise, there have been other airlines that disappeared due to merger. TWA acquiredOzark Airlines. Likewise,North Central Airlines andSouthern Airways merged to formRepublic Airlines (1979-1986).Northwest Airlines later acquired Republic.Dan Dassow10:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It may be worth posting images of the baggage claim areas of both the main terminal and east terminal. This article appears to have minimal images of inside the building. If you're flying here and you're a Wikipedia contributor, you might want to carry your camera on with you.—Precedingunsigned comment added byMyReference (talk •contribs)23:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have a few images from a trip up there a week or so ago. Included are images of the baggage claim area, one of which I've already posted to wikimedia commons:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Lambert-StLouisT1BaggageClaim2017-06-05.jpg
There are a few other photographs from the T1 landside area, including the chapel, the corridor to the T1 Metrolink station, passengers exiting C concourse heading into the baggage claim area, and one shot of the iconic gables. The better results from the expedition are on my flickr account here:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/david_ackerman/34286118864/in/album-72157684151836455/
I would be happy to upload and post any of them if they were deemed useful.

I think that you've reached a point with AA's STL hub where they are killing it slowly two or three cities at a time and will no longer be adding anything there. This is exactly what happened in Nashville and AA won't admit it until it is done and then they'll immediately start treating STL like a second class citizen as if they had never been big there and it was never important to them.Qzd800 (talk)19:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My edit stating that STL will remain a hub for American until the summer of 2010 was undone, citing theAmerican Airlines infobox as a source. Two problems: No wikipedia page is areliable source, and the source cited by that info box ([1]) actually lists St. Louis as an AA hub. Clearly, STL will cease to be a hub in the summer of 2010, as documented in a number of places (including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article I cited), but the sources I see say that it still is a hub for the time being.
I have re-edited the lead to call STL a hub for now, clearly stating that it won't be true for long. If I'm mistaken and there's a reliable source saying so, please revert my edit and cite that source. —Alex (ASHill |talk |contribs)16:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I recently read an accident report from 1968, that mentions a runway 17 at STL. I was familiar with the airport in that era, and don't recall that runway, nor any airplanes taking off or landing in that direction. The accident report refers to a DC-9 landing on 17, so it just wasn't a short runway for general aviation use. The airport diagram looks as though the approach end of 17 was next to runway 24, with the departure end (35 approach end), close to where the old TWA hangar was. I've rattled my brain trying to remember this runway, and just can't visualize it. Anyone have any info as to what year this runway was closed? There seems to be no trace of it, as either a taxiway or just X'ed out, as is sometimes the case on current airport diagrams. I assume they tore it up pavement and all.68.52.148.224 (talk)02:53, 20 January 2011 (UTC)eelb[reply]
I believe you might be confusing STL with ALN (which has a runway 17-35 that is DC-9 capable).—Precedingunsigned comment added by98.245.77.126 (talk)14:11, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Runway 17-35 at STL was 6000 ft in 1975; by 1984 it had been cut back to 3000 ft.Tim Zukas (talk)16:21, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info Tim. Guess I wasn't there when the wind was right. To the other user, no this wasn't ALN. This accident, a mid-air between an Ozark DC-9 and a Cessna 150, is fairly well known. It was one of several mid-airs across the U.S.in that era at major airports. These led to the creation of Terminal Control Areas, now known as Class B airspace.Eelb53 (talk)07:03, 2 April 2011 (UTC)eelb[reply]
I don't believe they serve STL, even on a seasonal basis. Can anyone confirm?—Precedingunsigned comment added by98.245.77.126 (talk)14:06, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not aware that Sun Country flies any charters from STL. They certainly don't do so for Apple Vacations - all the Apple flights rom STL are flown by Frontier Airlines, as in this link:
http://www.applevacations.com/flight-schedule/stl-st_louis/
However, there is a confusion about that as well. The Frontier/Apple flights are also sold as Frontier scheduled flights, and can be booked on the airline's website, as in this link - last para:

Is it really encyclopedic to list future destinations or the "begins __" / "ends __" dates? That would seem to be more of an advertising piece of information than an encyclopedic one.StrikerforceTalkReview me!17:23, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could anyone provide historic passenger numbers? The article currently only covers the years since 2006, but earlier numbers might also be interesting. I guess STL once had around 30 million passengers per year, so it's definitely worth reporting.--FoxyOrange (talk)12:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While re-working our passenger statistics table recently, I noticed that passenger counts from 1985-1989 are given, yet no source is cited. If anyone has a source for these numbers, then please add one to the table. Also, if anyone could find aircraft operations for those years (commercial only is preferred, but total is acceptable with a side-note), it would be much appreciated. Thank you.Digital inf3rno (talk)09:52, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've written adraft article on Ozark Air Lines Flight 965. I'm seeking additional information and citations from sources other than the NTSB report; a key piece of missing information is the identity of the person in the left pilot's seat of the DC-9. Comments and additions are welcome.Carguychris (talk)19:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have now twice deleted the "In popular culture" section from this article:[2],[3].
SeeMOS:POPCULT. In particular, the first paragraph: "Cultural references about the article's subject should not be included merely because they exist. Cultural aspects of the subject should be included only if they are supported by reliable secondary or tertiary sources that discuss the subject's cultural impact in some depth. The mere appearance of the subject in a film, song, video game, television show, or the like is insufficient."
Many of these items in this section were mere mentions of the airport: for example, the unsourced statement, "In the 'Meg and Quagmire' episode of the television showFamily Guy, Glenn Quagmire tells a story about landing at Lambert." That is not even notable enough to be mentioned in our synopsis for the "Meg and Quagmire" episode, much less St. Louis Lambert International Airport. No source was cited for this to indicate that it was in any way important from the perspective of the airport.
Additionally, none of the cited sources in this section was focused primarily on the airport. The sources, when given, did establish that a cultural referenceexists, but none established that the cultural reference is significant or impactful from the perspective of the subject of this article, which is St. Louis Lambert International Airport. —Bkell (talk)17:06, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
