Stillwater Regional Airport to expand services and accommodations

STILLWATER, Okla. — A press release from the City of Stillwater said American Airlines will use a larger aircraft to connect Stillwater to Dallas. It also said that the airport is finishing an aircraft apron project.

The release said, starting on Nov. 3, American Airlines will be using the larger CRJ-700 aircraft to connect Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO) to Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW). The CRJ-700 offers more seating, premium seat upgrades and in-flight entertainment.

“American is excited to enhance service between Stillwater Regional Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport this fall with larger, dual class aircraft,” said Philippe Puech, American Airlines Director of Short-Haul Network Planning. “Thanks to the outstanding support of the Stillwater community, we look forward to connecting more Oklahomans to our global network with just one stop.”

The airport is also finishing an aircraft apron rehabilitation project that added 100,000 square yards of concrete, expanding parking for planes and accommodating larger aircraft. In addition, a new airfield snow and ice removal fleet will help winter flights to better arrive and depart on time.

“We’re excited to see continued growth here at SWO,” Airport Director Paul Priegel said. “Our passengers will continue to see upgraded experiences both on the ground and in the air, combined with continued reliability, even during winter weather events.”

The release also said design recently began on a new and larger commercial terminal. Construction is slated to begin in 2024.
