“March 2024 set a new record for passenger numbers at WRWA! With a total of 362,173 passengers, it surpassed the previous record set in March 2019, which was...

Whatever that’s supposed to mean…

How many flights have you taken from OKC since Jan. 2024 to help grow the passenger counts (which is what drives expanded routes)?

I've already seen downtown from a couple of locations: I-40/US 81 in El Reno, and from the north, State Hwy 74F, just west of Hwy 74 (Portland Ave.). Both locations 23ish miles from downtown.

December 2023 passenger boarding/emplanement report released today.

2023 total passenger count: 4,400,049. Passenger count has virtually recovered from 2019 pre-pandemic record high of 4,419,119.

Ugh. Time and again it's been proven you don't know what the heck you're talking about, on most threads, but esp this one. You post comments that read with such certainty but like clockwork, you're...

Interesting article on the history of airline deregulation and the overall impact on air service.

Heritage Hills East was absorbed by Heritage Hills several years ago, and no longer exists. Heritage Hills now goes east to Broadway.

I'm hoping for the return of Williams Sonoma.

In regard to the new crown on the building and the covering of the arches, it's interesting to note how the remodel of the tower now looks more like the original renderings.

..

This is such a very nice project and helps the impression our downtown skyline gives. However, I do have a bit a nostalgia about the project, seeing the last of the arches being covered. When first...

I think I still have a matchbook from Michael's Plum around the house somewhere.

Yes, the Sportsman Club is unincorporated, just Oklahoma County.

Your post made me take a look at the Breeze Airways website and it's showing, in addition to the existing rt Tampa flight, in late May they will begin a rt non-stop OKC - Charleston, SC.

Yes. One gate, 32, has been designed to accommodate international flights. Passengers will leave the jet bridge and be directed downstairs to clear customs. That space will be built-out with FSI...

Come on. The current terminal is just under 1/4-mile wide and the new addition adds probably something like 400 feet on the east, just a little longer than a football field.

Interesting story Pete. I graduated from about that time too, and also had a big interest in the same business. I too went around, knocking on doors, trying to talk to some of the same real estate...

Proposed in the early 1980's, Oklahoma Commerce Tower, an apprx 20-story building, nw/c of Kerr and Hudson.

Thanks.

KanyeMo, thanks very much for these Galleria III pics, with Carroza. I've been looking for those for years and never seemed to be able to find them. The rendering is just as I remember.

For the WRWA staff who are members on this board -- is the timing for the opening of the concourse expansion still scheduled for later this month? Is it possible to see some updated photos of the...

That all makes perfect sense. Thanks!
