About Tulsa International Airport
Overview
Tulsa International Airport serves as a key aviation hub in northeastern Oklahoma, located at coordinates 36.198399, -95.888100. The airport sits at an elevation of 677 feet mean sea level and operates three runways with significant length variations, supporting both commercial and general aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
The airport's mid-continental location subjects it to variable weather conditions typical of Oklahoma's climate, with potential significant seasonal wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios, particularly on the 8,000+ foot runways, which can experience substantial wind gradient effects due to the regional topography.
Notable Features
Tulsa International features three runways with concrete and asphalt surfaces, offering multiple approach options for different aircraft types and weights. The longest runway (18L/36R) provides an impressive 9,999-foot length, accommodating virtually all commercial and large cargo aircraft operations with substantial margin.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18L/36R's extended length makes it the preferred primary runway for most heavy aircraft operations, with substantial headroom for complex approach scenarios. The complementary runways 08/26 and 18R/36L provide additional operational flexibility, allowing pilots multiple options based on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic management requirements.
