Hangar Types for KOWP

Corporate Aircraft Hangars

Tulsa-area businesses looking for convenient aviation access find KOWP ideal. Corporate hangars with executive office suites, climate control, and secure aircraft storage serve business jets ranging from light jets to mid-size aircraft. The 5,800-foot runway handles most corporate aircraft while avoiding Tulsa International's congestion.

Individual aircraft owners in the Tulsa metro area need secure, weather-protected hangars. Box hangar designs at KOWP provide excellent protection from Oklahoma's severe weather while keeping aircraft close to home. The airport's location offers quick access to both Sand Springs and greater Tulsa.
