Special Commission Meeting Open to the Public
The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics confirmed that the Special Commission Meeting will be accessible to the general public.

Tulsa International Airport to Host Commission Session
Tulsa International Airport will serve as the location for the meeting, placing the commission session within a major center of aviation activity in Oklahoma.
The airport supports commercial passenger operations while also serving a broader aviation and aerospace ecosystem in the Tulsa region. The area has a longstanding connection to aircraft maintenance, aerospace services and other aviation-related business activities.
Holding the meeting at Tulsa International Airport provides a sector-specific setting for the department and its commissioners as they conduct official business involving Oklahoma’s aviation interests.

Aerospace and Aviation Remain Important to Oklahoma
Oklahoma has maintained a significant focus on aerospace and aviation as part of its economic development strategy. The industry encompasses commercial aviation, military and defense-related operations, manufacturing, aircraft maintenance, airports and workforce training.
The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics plays a role in supporting the state’s aviation system and broader aerospace development efforts. Its work connects with airports and communities across Oklahoma as well as businesses and workers involved in the sector.
Commission meetings provide a formal setting for the agency’s governing body to conduct public business and consider matters related to its responsibilities. Special meetings allow commissioners to convene outside the regular meeting schedule when necessary, while remaining subject to applicable public meeting requirements.
For Oklahoma businesses involved in aerospace and aviation, state-level decisions can have broader implications for infrastructure development, industry growth and workforce needs.
