Stillwater Regional (KSWO), Stillwater, Oklahoma: Airport Authority to discuss hangars Thursday

STILLWATER, Okla. — The Stillwater Regional Airport Authority discussed a possible new business for the airport in an executive session during September’s meeting.

The authority will meet at noon Thursday at the Stillwater Regional Airport terminal building.

The authority board didn’t take any action at September’s meeting and none is expected Thursday. A public vote is needed to act on discussions in an executive session.

“I don’t think anything is coming of this right now, sometimes these things take months to develop,” City Attorney John Dorman said.

The airport has contracts with vendors that provide fueling and maintenance, OSU Flight Center and a private flight school.

Also on the agenda is a discussion and possible action on “preplanning for T-hangar #3” at the airport.

Airport Director Gary Johnson said the airport has two T-hangars, each one can house 10 airplanes. Building another T-hangar would allow the airport to accommodate 30 planes.

The agenda states the authority will discuss pavement condition and possible evaluation of the terminal and adjacent parking aprons.

Johnson said the airport has a multiyear contract with LBR, Inc., an airport consulting firm for the evaluation. The firm is locally-owned and has offices at the Stillwater airport and at Wiley Post Airport in Bethany.

Reports from the airport director and staff listed on the agenda include  an air traffic control tower traffic count for September, a September fuel sales summary, a presentation and update on the airport’s parallel taxiway construction project and an air service development update.
