Oklahoma GA Airport Unveils Major Infrastructure Upgrades

The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (ODAA) celebrated the completion of a major redevelopment at the dedicated general aviation West Woodward Airport (KWWR) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week.

Priced at more than $12 million, the project included a new 5,000-sq-ft terminal offering a passenger lounge, pilot lounge, meeting rooms, and office space. The complex also features a new 17,700-sq-ft box hangar capable of sheltering ultra-long-range business jets. That brings KWWR up to 38,000 sq ft of aircraft storage space.

As well, 25,000 sq ft of ramp space was added to the airport’s existing 400,000 sq ft, and a new taxilane was built to connect the existing parallel taxiway to the new corporate hangar to allow for future development in the area south of the terminal.

The work was facilitated by the ODAA’s five-year revolving Airport Construction Program plan and supported by Oklahoma’s Preserving Rural Economic Prosperity program, which fuels economic growth and invests in workforce development in the state’s rural areas.

“Oklahoma’s aerospace industry is a vital economic engine for our state,” said ODAA executive director Grayson Ardies. “The completion of these pro-growth projects at West Woodward ensures that Western Oklahoma remains competitive and capable of supporting the evolving needs of both corporate and general aviation.”
