History of the Tulsa Airport

Today, over 2,000,000 flights arrive and depart the Tulsa International Airport.  It remains a hub of Oklahoma, just as it has in years past.  The history of the Tulsa Airport is fascinating.  It started as a private airfield with little more than a grassy, muddy runway.  Within a few years, it became a destination point, even hosting several Air National Tours.  The famed Charles Lindbergh was even a frequent guest at the Tulsa Airport.
