Shreveport Airport is marketing two move-in-ready cargo bays (3,470 sq ft and 3,460 sq ft) with ramp access, scissor gates, and parking at the LA 3132/I-20 interchange — a prime location beside FedEx and UPS offering customs, fuelling, and 24/7 security on-site.
Flexibility and scalability define the offer, with 50 acres available for expansion, short- or long-term leasing options, and support for freight forwarders, e-commerce, and perishables operators seeking adaptable logistics bases.
Regional growth adds to the appeal, as Shreveport’s multimodal connectivity, stable climate, and rising economic activity strengthen its bid to become a leading airfreight hub in the southern United States.
Shreveport has a cargo facility that has a 3,470 sq ft bay and a 3,460 sq ft bay available, positioning it as a serious contender for companies seeking new logistics bases in the United States. The site, strategically located at the LA 3132 and I-20 interchange, sits alongside major operators FedEx and UPS, providing both visibility and convenience.
The facility comes with ramp space, scissor gates and extra parking, making it capable of handling large freight aircraft. Importantly, the space is move-in ready, with no need for renovations. Its proximity to highways, interstate routes and rail connections enhances the ease of moving goods quickly and efficiently.
The site offers flexibility not only in physical space but also in leasing options, which are being marketed as adaptable to tenant needs. With customs available on-site, round-the-clock airport police and fuelling services, Shreveport is putting forward a comprehensive package designed to attract both domestic and international operators.
As the logistics industry evolves to meet the growing demands of e-commerce and global trade, the availability of such facilities is becoming increasingly valuable. For Shreveport, this could mark a significant step in its ambition to grow as a regional airfreight hub.
Room for expansion
Stephen Price, property management administrator for the Shreveport Airport Authority, said the site’s features make it a standout choice. “It is located at our Warehouse District industrial park that has 50 acres of space ready for development. This location also houses FedEx and UPS. There’s plenty of room for expansion, ramp space, scissor gates and extra room for parking,” he explained.
The facility was previously used by a support operation for FedEx, but Price confirmed the space is fully prepared for a new occupant. “Space is ready for occupancy,” he said. The airport is also open to flexible leasing terms, short or long-term, and even co-tenancy if required.
When asked about the type of businesses the authority hopes to attract, Price was clear:
“Cargo operations. Freight forwarders, e-commerce logistics, perishables – we’re open to different opportunities. The flexibility is there.”
Security is a priority, with 24/7 monitoring provided by airport police. Alongside this, the fuelling services at the site allow tenants to integrate their operations without relying on off-site providers.
In terms of financial incentives, Price suggested the state could offer support depending on employment levels created. “Possibly through the state, depending on how many employed,” he noted, hinting at the wider economic benefits new operators could bring.
Economic development is increasing
For Price, Shreveport’s appeal lies not just in the facility itself but in the wider regional context. “The airport has customs and access to rail,” he said, pointing out that this combination is not always available at comparable sites. Large freight aircraft can be accommodated directly on the ramp, and with fuelling on-site, tenants gain the ability to streamline turnaround times.
The airport operates 24/7, providing assurance to companies reliant on tight supply chains. Its location also places it within reach of key national freight corridors, linking the Gulf Coast with central and western states.
Price emphasised that Shreveport offers something unique. “This is a warm sunny climate, away from the gulf and hurricanes. Economic development is increasing in the area. The airport’s growth with enplanements is skyrocketing,” he said.
