Install perimeter fencing

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region awarded $1,376,330.53 to the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to install perimeter security infrastructure at Tulsa-area airports. The project, initiated on June 10, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 9, 2029, involves the installation of 9,450 linear feet of perimeter fencing and 14 gates to bring the airport facilities into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. This infrastructure enhancement is not required under 49 CFR 1542 but represents a proactive upgrade to airport security and operational standards.

The Airport Improvement Program, which also encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs, supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure across the United States. The Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust, operating as the Tulsa Airport Authority, is responsible for managing airports in the Tulsa, Oklahoma region and has demonstrated substantial capacity in executing FAA-funded infrastructure projects, including runway reconstruction, taxiway improvements, and terminal enhancements. The project will be performed at the Jenks, Oklahoma location and serves as a component of the broader federal investment in maintaining a safe, efficient, and modernized civil aviation infrastructure system nationwide.
