Expansion plans for Shreveport Regional Airport parking are underway, but until next summer at least the number of spots now is expected to grow by fewer than 100.
Parking can be a nightmare at the airport, a longtime problem with a solution delayed by the pandemic and now hitting new snags not the least of which is needing another cash infusion. But to give travelers at least a few more options than jumping the curb in the lot and parking their cars on the grass, the airport now is moving to quickly repurpose an employee lot that would add 75 spots to the total potentially before the end of this summer. Even so, the number of vehicles overcrowding the lot already often exceeds 75.
