History of Will Rogers World Airport

Opened in 1911, the airport is named after legendary cowboy, actor, and comedian Will Rogers.

During World War II, the airport became a key training facility for the United States Army Air Forces before the Air Force became a separate branch of the U.S. military in 1947.

The April 1957 OAG showed 21 daily non-stop departures on Braniff International Airways, 15 on American Airlines, five on Central Airlines, four on Continental Airlines, and three on TWA.

A TWA Constellation aircraft flew non-stop from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles, but eastward non-stops didn't reach beyond Wichita, Kansas, Tulsa, or Dallas, Texas. Oklahoma City began non-stop flights to Chicago starting in 1966.

In the late 1990s, the Oklahoma City Airport Trust deemed the 1967-built terminal building unsuitable.

Following the adoption of a three-phase master plan consisting of a $110 million renovation and modernization project, preparations for renovating the airport were launched in 2001.

The old twin concourses were demolished to make way for a larger terminal with integrated concourses, high ceilings, and modern facilities.

As of this update, it is in the middle of another $89 million construction project that will add four more gates to meet increasing airline demands.

The expansion broke ground in March 2019.

The project will also include an innovative view system composed of an elevated platform and lounge that will allow visitors to walk above the newly expanded East Concourse and view down onto the secure gate areas and out to the airside.

As of 2021, its top domestic routes include Texas Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, Colorado Denver, Colorado, Georgia (U.S. state) Atlanta, Georgia, Arizona Phoenix–Sky Harbor, Arizona, Texas Houston–Hobby, Texas, Texas Houston–Intercontinental, Texas, Illinois Chicago–O'Hare, Illinois, North Carolina Charlotte, North Carolina, Nevada Las Vegas, Nevada, and Utah Salt Lake City, Utah.
