A new air carrier will set up shop at Shreveport Regional Airport this week. 

City officials and a host of other dignitaries will be on hand Thursday afternoon to cut the ribbon and officially welcome Vision Airlines.  The low-cost airline plans to begin twice-weekly non-stop flights between Shreveport and Destin, Florida, in April as part of a major expansion announced last month.  Those flights will be aboard Boeing 737 jets.
