Tulsa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Tulsa International Airport (TUL), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tulsa International Airport | TUL | 11 km (7 mi) | 10,000 ft | 677 ft |
| Stillwater Regional Airport (regional) | SWO | 98 km (61 mi) | 7,401 ft | 1,000 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, TUL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 677 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
