Pro Tip

GPT does not publish an online lost-and-found claim form, so call the Airport Authority office directly at 228-863-5951 during weekday business hours (8am–5pm) rather than searching for a web portal that doesn't exist. If your item was lost on an aircraft or with checked baggage, contact your airline directly — the airport only handles items found in the public terminal areas.
