South Lafourche Leonard Miller Jr. Airport
South Lafourche Leonard Miller Jr. Airport (ICAO: KGAO, FAA LID: GAO, formerly L49) is a public use airport in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is owned by the Greater Lafourche Port Commission and located one nautical mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Galliano, Louisiana. This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
