SDF Aircraft Emergency Training Exercise

On Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) held a full-scale, aircraft emergency disaster drill on the airfield. The airport’s Public Safety Department with support from a variety of emergency response agencies in the community utilized a portion of the airfield as part of a simulated aircraft incident that included a period of fire, smoke and approximately 100 volunteers who will act as passengers on the aircraft. SDF’s Airport Emergency Operations Center was also activated as part of the exercise.
