Runways & Approaches

Shreveport Regional operates two runways. The primary Runway 14/32 stretches roughly 8,350 feet, long enough for the full spectrum of business aviation, including heavy and ultra-long-range jets such as the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global, and Dassault Falcon series, with comfortable margins for hot-day and high-gross-weight departures. The crosswind Runway 5/23 adds about 6,200 feet, giving operators a second alignment when winds favor it.

The field is fully instrument-equipped, with ILS (including a CAT II approach to Runway 14), RNAV (GPS), and LOC procedures plus visual approaches. A 24-hour FAA control tower and a field elevation of 258 feet MSL keep density-altitude effects modest, so published performance numbers hold up well even in the Louisiana summer heat.

Private Aviation Briefing — History, Operations & Planning

Airport Overview

Shreveport Regional Airport (KSHV/SHV) is the primary commercial and general-aviation gateway for northwest Louisiana's Ark-La-Tex region, owned and operated by the City of Shreveport through the Shreveport Airport Authority. Sitting at 258 feet MSL about 5 miles southwest of downtown, it combines airline service with a robust business-aviation operation and an adjacent 800-acre industrial park (AeroPark).

Runway Capability

With a primary runway of roughly 8,350 feet and a 6,200-foot crosswind runway, both grooved and well-maintained, SHV handles everything from light jets to heavy, ultra-long-range aircraft. The long primary runway and modest field elevation give operators ample margin for full-fuel, hot-day departures to coast-to-coast and international destinations.

FBO & Ground Services

Signature Aviation is the on-field FBO, having opened a new multi-million-dollar facility in 2024. It provides Jet-A, hangar and ramp space, ground handling, and passenger and crew services. As the single fixed-base operator, Signature coordinates all transient business-jet handling at the field.

Customs & International Operations

Shreveport Regional is a designated U.S. Customs port of entry with an on-field CBP office, so international charter flights can clear customs directly at SHV rather than diverting to a coastal gateway. Operators should still file eAPIS and arrange CBP in advance. Signature Aviation assists with international arrival coordination.

Regional Context

Northwest Louisiana's aviation activity is shaped by the energy sector, the Barksdale Air Force Base presence just east in Bossier City, and casino and corporate traffic. SHV serves as the region's jet hub, with popular private routes to Houston, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (including Addison), and other Gulf-region business centers.

Weather & Seasonal Planning

Shreveport's humid subtropical climate brings warm, humid summers and frequent afternoon convective thunderstorms, often peaking between early afternoon and early evening. Morning departures generally offer the smoothest, clearest conditions. Gulf moisture can produce low-ceiling IFR mornings, and the cooler months provide the most reliable flying weather. Winter de-icing is occasionally required but infrequent.
