Will Rogers World Airport

Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC) sits 6 miles southwest of downtown Oklahoma City. The field handles modest commercial service (Southwest, American, Delta, United, Allegiant, Spirit, Frontier) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Oklahoma state-government flow (state capital), the energy corporate corridor (Devon Energy, Continental Resources, Chesapeake Energy historically), and the Tinker Air Force Base proximity flow. The three runways at KOKC (17R/35L 9,802 ft, 17L/35R 9,801 ft, 13/31 7,801 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Atlantic Aviation and Signature) handle business movements. Field elevation is 1,295 feet, with modest summer density-altitude considerations. The dominant operational considerations are spring tornado-alley severe weather, summer thunderstorms with heavy hail risk (Oklahoma City has been hit by some of the largest hail events in US history), winter ice storms, and persistent Plains wind. The structural event window is the Memorial Marathon in April (commemorating the 1995 bombing). Ground time to downtown Oklahoma City is 15 minutes; the Bricktown entertainment district is 20.
