St. Louis Downtown Airport is home to a multitude of helicopters including all St. Louis area news and traffic helicopters, mulitple helicopter charter and flight instruction businesses, scenic tour helicopters and several privately owned helicopters. Most operate from the northwest corner of the airport and make frequent flights to and from St. Louis daily. There are several heliports throughout the city including those at the Gateway Arch Riverfront, Anheuser Busch Brewery, Arch Aeromedical Helicopters, and the many hospitals in the area. Additionally, traffic and news helicopters operate over the main highways and news scenes and tour helicopters conduct scenic flights around the St. Louis area. All helicopters operating within the airport's Class D airspace should be in contact with Downtown Tower. Use caution to see and avoid them.
The St. Louis Cardinals' Busch Stadium, the St. Louis Rams Edward Jones Dome, and the Gateway International Raceway are protected by TFRs during sporting events. Both stadiums are located in downtown St. Louis, approximately 3 miles from the airport. The raceway is located 5 miles north of the airport. The airport remains open during these times, however pilots must be in contact with ATC.
The Airport is operating under increased security vigilance.
The aircraft ramps are restricted to only those who have a need for direct access to aircraft.
