Lawton Fort Sill Regional Airport Guide

Lawton Fort Sill Regional Airport (ICAO KLAW) sits about two miles south of Lawton in southwest Oklahoma. It is a primary commercial service airport that also supports the U.S. Army post at nearby Fort Sill, home of the Field Artillery School.

Military flying dominates the traffic mix. In the year ending December 31, 2022, the airport recorded 24,289 aircraft operations, an average of 66 a day. Military flights made up 63 percent, general aviation 30 percent, airline flights 6 percent and air taxi less than 1 percent. The Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission lists about 53 based aircraft, mostly single-engine, along with four jets and three helicopters.

A single concrete runway, 17/35, measures 8,599 by 150 feet and has an instrument landing system. The airport has a control tower. American Eagle provides the only regularly scheduled airline service, with daily flights to Dallas/Fort Worth, and Allegiant Air has operated occasional charters. Continental Airlines served Lawton from 1948 to 1975, and Frontier Airlines, successor to Central Airlines, served it until 1981. The City of Lawton owns the airport. A federal grant of more than $3 million, announced in 2021, funds reconstruction of the passenger hold room, ticketing lobby and exit corridor.
