Shreveport Regional Airport is a public use airport in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States. It is owned by the City of Shreveport and located four nautical miles (7 km) southwest of its central business district.〔 The airport's runways and terminal are visible to traffic along Interstate 20, a main east-west corridor of the Southern United States. Shreveport Regional was designed to replace the Shreveport Downtown Airport, which limited growth due to close proximity of the Red River. As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 294,296 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2013, up almost 3% from 287,154 enplanements in 2012.〔http://bizmagsb.com/shreveport-airport-shows-passengers-increased-for-third-year-in-a-row/〕 According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007-2011, it is a ''primary commercial service'' airport.〔(FAA National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems: 2007-2011 )〕 The FAA classifies Shreveport Regional Airport as a "Small Hub" airport. For the 2011-2012 calendar years, Shreveport Regional Airport ranked just under Mobile Regional Airport (Mobile, Alabama) and Fort Wayne International Airport (Fort Wayne, Indiana) and just above Jackson Hole Airport (Jackson Hole, Wyoming) and Yeager Airport (Charleston, West Virginia) in total enplanements.〔http://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/media/CY12CommercialServiceEnplanements.pdf〕 == Facilities and aircraft == Shreveport Regional Airport covers an area of at an elevation of 258 feet (79 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 14/32 is 8,351 by 200 feet (2,545 x 61 m) and 6/24 is 6,202 by 150 feet (1,890 x 46 m).〔 The airport is located off Hollywood Avenue with easy access to Interstate 20. Much of the work on the location of the facility was conducted by then Shreveport Public Works Commissioner H. Lane Mitchell, an engineer under whose jurisdiction the airport fell prior to implementation in 1978 of the mayor-council city charter.〔H. Lane Mitchell dies, funeral Friday morning", ''Shreveport Times'', November 9, 1978, p. 10-A〕 In 2009, the airport opened a $30 million cargo terminal, which serves as an anchor for the Aero Park Industrial Park. Cargo tenants include United Parcel Service, FedEx, Integrated Airline Solutions, USA Jet, and Empire Airlines. The recently renovated terminal now features wireless access and a restaurant between the two security checkpoints. The airport is also an alternate destination for American Airlines flights that cannot land at Dallas-Fort Worth Int'l and United Airlines that cannot land at Houston Intercontinental Airport due to bad weather. Shreveport is also the home to the maintenance hangar for regional feeder ExpressJet Airlines for its fleet of Embraer regional jet aircraft. Shreveport Regional Airport was awarded the "2009 Louisiana Airport of the Year." It is Shreveport's third time winning the award. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shreveport Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
