Shreveport Regional Airport

Shreveport Regional Airport (KSHV) sits 5 miles southwest of downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. The field handles modest commercial service (American, Delta, United, Allegiant) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Ark-La-Tex oil-and-gas corporate corridor, the Barksdale Air Force Base flow (Barksdale AFB is adjacent in Bossier City), and the Louisiana gaming and entertainment flow (multiple casinos in the area). The two runways at KSHV (14/32 8,353 ft, 6/24 6,201 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Million Air and Avflight Shreveport) handle business movements. Field elevation is 258 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Gulf Coast / southern weather pattern (summer thunderstorms with severe weather risk, occasional winter ice events, the standard Tornado Alley severe-weather pattern in spring), and the structural Barksdale AFB flow. Ground time to downtown Shreveport is 10 minutes; Bossier City casinos are 15; Barksdale AFB is 10–15.
