Lawton–Fort Sill Regional Airport (IATA: LAW[2], ICAO: KLAW, FAA LID: LAW) is a city owned airport two miles south of Lawton, in Comanche County, Oklahoma.[1] It is used for military aviation from nearby Fort Sill and Sheppard Air Force Base and is served by American Eagle. Allegiant Air runs occasional charters to various destinations in the western United States.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport.[3] Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 77,533 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[4] 71,389 in 2009 and 68,054 in 2010.[5]
The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.[6][7]
Facilities
The airport covers 1,300 acres (526 ha) at an elevation of 1,110 feet (338 m). Its one runway, 17/35, is 8,599 by 150 feet (2,621 x 46 m) concrete.[1]
In the year ending May 30, 2012 the airport had 33,983 aircraft operations, average 93 per day: 73% military, 18% general aviation, 8% air taxi, and 1% airline. 46 aircraft were then based at this airport: 93.5% single-engine and 6.5% multi-engine.[1]
