Bartlesville Municipal Airport (BVO)

Bartlesville Municipal Airport (BVO) is a premier general aviation and corporate aviation facility serving the city of Bartlesville and the wider Washington County region in northeast Oklahoma. Located just one mile northwest of the downtown business district, the airport provides a critical transportation node for the region’s significant energy and aerospace sectors. It is perhaps most famous for its deep historical connection to the Phillips Petroleum Company (now ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66), which founded the airfield and utilized it as a primary base for its global corporate operations. The airport operates through a modern and meticulously maintained passenger terminal building spanning approximately 2,800 square feet. The facility is home to Bartlesville Aviation, a full-service Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) that provides high-quality support for both locally based and visiting aircraft. Inside the terminal, passengers and flight crews have access to a spacious visitor lobby, a professional pilot's lounge, and private conference areas equipped for business meetings. The terminal layout is designed for maximum efficiency, featuring centralized check-in and flight planning zones that ensure a streamlined experience for travelers. Infrastructure at BVO is well-equipped to support a wide range of aviation activities, featuring a primary 6,850-foot concrete runway designated 17/35. In a significant development for the region, ConocoPhillips reinstated its regular air shuttle service at the facility in 2024, utilizing Embraer ERJ145 jets to connect Bartlesville with major company locations across the United States. The airfield provides 24-hour self-service and full-service fueling for both 100LL and Jet-A aircraft, as well as on-site maintenance services and extensive hangar storage, making it one of the most operationally capable municipal airports in the state. Ground transportation at the airport is exceptionally convenient, with downtown Bartlesville located just a few minutes’ drive from the terminal exit. Arriving travelers can access off-site car rental services provided by major agencies like Hertz, which frequently coordinate delivery to the FBO for incoming flights. The airport also provides courtesy transportation for visiting pilots and is well-served by local taxi and limousine networks. Ample parking is available directly adjacent to the main terminal building, ensuring that the facility remains a highly accessible and professional node for both corporate executives and recreational aviators.
