Louisiana Airport Moves Ahead with Runway Expansion
Shreveport's Airport Authority System will expand the secondary runways and taxiways at both Shreveport Regional and Shreveport Downtown Airports.

Louisiana’s Shreveport Airport Authority has kicked off construction on a runway extension for the secondary runway at Shreveport Regional Airport. The $9.1 million project will add 850 feet to Runway 6/24, bringing it to more than 7,000 feet. The work, paid for by airport improvement grants from the FAA and the state Department of Transportation, will also include a similar extension for Taxiway C. It is expected to take 18 months to complete.
