American Airlines To Continue Service To Stillwater Regional Airport

American Airlines has reversed its previous decision to suspend flights at Stillwater Regional Airport, according to a news release.

American Airlines announced that it planned to suspend air service from Oct. 7 to Nov. 3. SWO was one of 15 airports nationwide selected by the airline for suspended service.

According to American, the decision was based on low advanced booking numbers and the approaching expiration of federal funding that was provided to airlines back in March.

The company's reversal happened after weeks of outreach from the Stillwater community and expressed support from U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas, Sens. Jim Inhofe and James Lankford, the news release said.

“Commercial air service is an incredible asset for the City of Stillwater and we are all very thankful to have such a supportive community,” Stillwater Mayor Will Joyce said. “It has really made a difference.”
