Ardmore Downtown Executive Airport (AHD)

Ardmore Downtown Executive Airport (AHD) is a public‑use general aviation field that serves the city of Ardmore and the surrounding areas of southern Oklahoma. Operations are centered around a compact terminal/FBO building with ramp‑side access, pilot services, and customer counters for fuel and ground handling. The airfield supports business aviation, flight training, air taxi, and private GA traffic rather than scheduled airline service.

The layout is simple and efficient. Parking is directly in front of the terminal and FBO entrances; walk time from the lot to the front desk is typically under 1 minute. From the terminal to aircraft on the main apron is a short walk across the ramp—usually 30–90 seconds depending on parking position. There are no inter‑terminal transfers, jet bridges, or people movers; all movements are on foot with escort on the ramp as required by local procedures.

There is no TSA passenger screening for GA departures, and no immigration or customs processing on site. If an international arrival is planned, operators must coordinate in advance with CBP at a designated port of entry or reposition to a nearby airport that offers customs services. Security measures at AHD follow standard GA practices, including access‑controlled doors, ramp badges for based tenants, and escort requirements for visitors.

Amenities are geared to pilots and GA passengers: a pilot lounge and briefing area, restrooms, seating, and vending machines or light refreshments depending on the FBO. Self‑serve or full‑serve fuel (AvGas/Jet‑A) is available, along with ground handling, GPU, hangar/overnight parking, and rental car or courtesy car arrangements through the desk. Wi‑Fi is generally available in the terminal/FBO areas.

Accessibility is straightforward with ground‑level, step‑free access from parking to the terminal, and accessible restrooms. Family‑specific facilities are limited due to the airport’s GA focus, but baby‑changing stations are commonly provided in restrooms. Passengers should coordinate any special assistance needs directly with their charter operator or the FBO in advance.
