Cushing Municipal Airport (CUH)

Cushing Municipal Airport (CUH) is a public, city-owned general aviation facility located two miles south of Cushing, Oklahoma. Known as the 'Pipeline Crossroads of the World' due to its massive oil storage infrastructure, Cushing relies on this airport to serve the needs of the energy industry, private pilots, and the local community. The airport features a primary concrete runway (18/36) measuring 5,201 feet, which is capable of accommodating most business jets and turboprop aircraft, along with three turf runways that cater to smaller recreational aircraft and flight training operations.

The airport terminal provides a range of professional amenities tailored for general aviation. This includes a comfortable pilot's lounge, a dedicated conference room for business meetings, and flight planning facilities equipped with Wi-Fi. The on-site Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) offers full-service fueling during business hours and 24-hour self-serve options (100LL and Jet-A). While the airport lacks the extensive shopping and dining options of a commercial hub, it offers essential conveniences like vending machines and a courtesy car for transient pilots needing a quick trip into town for local services or a meal.

As a general aviation airport, CUH does not host scheduled commercial airline services like American Airlines, and therefore does not have standard passenger transit or security procedures. Transitions for private flyers are exceptionally quick, often involving a direct walk from the aircraft to the FBO lounge or a waiting vehicle. For those requiring commercial flights, the nearest options are Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO), approximately 25 miles to the northwest, or Tulsa International Airport (TUL), located about 55 miles to the east. Ground transportation at CUH is primarily via private vehicle or pre-arranged taxi services, as there is no regular public transit serving the airfield.
