Because Shreveport Regional Airport is located within next to two major interstates - I-20 and I-49, and is served by rail access, the airport is well positioned for future air cargo growth. Additionally, Shreveport is located next to the Red River and the Port of Shreveport-Bossier, making shipping through Shreveport Regional Airport a smart logistics choice.

To assist cargo carriers, a United States Customs Port of Entry office is located at Shreveport Regional Airport. The service enables products from around the world to be shipped and cleared here much faster than at high-traffic coastal ports of entry. The office is located in the air cargo terminal at the airport, 6125 Interstate Drive, Bay 11. The telephone number is (318) 635-7873.

Additionally, Shreveport Regional’s highly secured area is legally considered as outside the domain of U.S. Customs Service by the U.S. Government. This means foreign goods may be brought into the FTZ without formal customs entry or the payment of duty and excise taxes until and unless they enter the U.S. Testing, repackaging, inspections and further processing can also be conducted within the FTZ.

The airport is also capable of handling most cargo freighter aircraft. Runway 14/32 is 8,350 feet long and 200 feet wide with grooved pavement and Category II lighting, while Runway 5/23 is 6,200 feet long and 150 feet wide. The runways and taxiways have the highest weight-bearing capacity called for by the FAA and are able to accommodate the largest of aircraft.
