Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is New Orleans's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY) runs two runways, and the print keeps both of them dark: 11/29 at 10,104 feet and 02/20 at 7,002 feet, each 150 feet wide, each a grooved concrete surface. Field elevation is 3 feet, and that number sits under the city line at the bottom of the sheet.
On the sheet the pairing reads as one long line answered by one short one. The 10,104 foot strip enters from the upper left as a shallow diagonal, sloping gently down as it travels right, and it stops where the steeper 02/20 strip runs past it near the right edge, 20 at the top and 2 at the bottom. The two dark lines meet at a sharp angle rather than squaring off into a tidy cross, which is what gives the composition its lean. The rest of the sheet is lighter: taxiway runs tracking the main diagonal, rounded connectors, apron blocks and the terminal footprint massed toward the upper right, all in a softer gray so the two runways stay the darkest marks on the wall.
The name and the code arrive from different centuries. MSY goes back to Moisant Stock Yards, the site named for aviator John Moisant, who died in 1910, while the airport itself became Louis Armstrong New Orleans International in 2001. The field sits in Kenner, about 11 miles west of downtown, and it is owned by the City of New Orleans. In 2019 the airport served 13.1 million passengers and a new terminal opened on the north side of the airfield. Framed, the sheet reads best for someone who knows that walk to the gate, and it hangs comfortably next to other Louisiana fields, Houma or Baton Rouge among them.
New Orleans (MSY) print, common questions
How many runways does MSY have, and how long are they?
Two. Runway 11/29 is 10,104 feet long and runway 02/20 is 7,002 feet long. Both are 150 feet wide, and both are a grooved concrete surface.
What does the code MSY stand for?
It comes from Moisant Stock Yards, the name the site carried after aviator John Moisant, who died in 1910. The airport took the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International name in 2001.
How high above sea level is the airport?
Three feet. That field elevation is shown in the artwork below the coordinates, and it is one of the quieter details people notice once the print is on a wall.
Where is the airport?
Southeast Louisiana, in Kenner, about 11 miles west of downtown New Orleans, at 29.9933 N, 90.2590 W.
How accurate is the layout on the print?
The runway lengths, widths and designators come from published airport information, and that data guides the relative runway geometry on the sheet. It is a print, not a navigation document: fine details may be simplified or omitted so the layout stays readable at wall distance.
Does this make a good gift?
It suits anyone with a New Orleans connection: crews, frequent flyers, a first solo, a move away. Each one is made to order in a range of sizes, and the colorway you choose sets whether it reads quiet or graphic in the room.
