Why Shreveport Downtown Airport is the urban private aviation choice

Shreveport Downtown Airport sits directly on the Red River adjacent to downtown Shreveport, providing the closest possible private aviation access to the city's central business district, the federal courthouse, the Bossier City casino and entertainment corridor, and Barksdale Air Force Base. The cost of a private jet from Shreveport Downtown is competitive with Shreveport Regional (SHV), and DTN's complete absence of commercial traffic means no ramp congestion, no security lines, and turnarounds measured in minutes rather than hours. For executives, attorneys, and military-adjacent professionals whose meetings are in downtown Shreveport or Bossier City, DTN eliminates the 15-minute drive from Shreveport Regional and puts you steps from where you need to be.
