A new gateway to Stillwater is officially open! ✈️

We were excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new terminal at Stillwater Regional Airport this morning! We even got a sneak peek a few weeks ago while work was still underway, so seeing the completed terminal filled with people made the celebration even more special.

This airport plays an important role in connecting Oklahoma State University and Stillwater to people, partnerships and opportunities around the world. We’re excited for the students, scholars, partners and visitors who will begin their Stillwater experience right here.

Congratulations to Stillwater Regional Airport and everyone who helped bring this new terminal to life!
