3.4 Busiest domestic routes from Oklahoma City.

It is Oklahoma's busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic and its busiest cargo airport in terms of pounds of cargo carried, with over 68.5 million pounds of cargo carried in 2010. In 2012, over 3.68 million passengers passed through Will Rogers World Airport, up 3.4% over 2011. Although it offers some customs and immigration services, it has no international destinations. Will Rogers World Airport is unusual in that it is the only airport to use the designation 'World,' and that its name makes no reference to its city location. The airport is named in honor of comedian and legendary cowboy Will Rogers, an Oklahoma native, and holds the distinction of being named after a person who died in an airplane crash (as does the city's other major airport, Wiley Post Airport, and Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Airport in Barrow, AK - both men died in the same crash near Barrow in 1935). The local airport authority, citizens, and news organizations commonly refer to the airport as 'WRWA', yet the official industry designations are 'OKC' and 'KOKC'. It is a joint civil-military airport and is the principal commercial airport of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area. Will Rogers World Airport (IATA: OKC, ICAO: KOKC, FAA Location identifier: OKC), also known as Will Rogers Airport or simply Will Rogers, is located in southwestern Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 6 miles (8 km) from downtown on approximately 8,100 acres of land.
