Improve service road; construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region awarded $118,398.95 to the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust (doing business as Tulsa Airport Authority) on August 11, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund Phase 1 design activities for two airport infrastructure projects. The grant supports the design phase of constructing a new 570-foot Taxilane GG to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and improving 1,500 feet of existing paved service road at Jenks Airport, Oklahoma. Both projects are designed to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards.

The Tulsa Airport Authority will utilize these federal funds to complete planning and design work, with project completion anticipated by August 10, 2029. This design-phase funding represents the initial step in a multi-year capital improvement initiative and aligns with the Airport Improvement Program's strategic objective of developing and maintaining a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. Upon design completion, the airport authority would be positioned to pursue additional federal funding for subsequent construction phases of these infrastructure enhancement projects.
