Shreveport Downtown Airport (DTN/KDTN) is a city-owned public-use general aviation airport about one mile north of downtown Shreveport, Louisiana, near the Red River. Opened in the late 1920s, it was Shreveport's original municipal airport and now serves as a reliever to Shreveport Regional, with two runways and a control tower. It handles business aviation, flight training, and recreational flying, offering quick access to downtown, the riverfront, and local casinos.
💡 Local Tip
Ask the FBO about a crew car or courtesy shuttle for quick downtown trips; because DTN is so close to the riverfront and casinos, driving yourself can be faster than waiting for rideshare during major downtown events.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to downtown Shreveport, so rideshare, taxi, or a rental car arranged through the FBO are the most practical ways to get to and from the field. Public transit service to the airport itself is limited, so confirm schedules or plan on a car. It is about 7-8 miles from Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV), roughly a 15-20 minute drive depending on traffic.
