    It's more that you actively think Tulsa is ahead of OKC for international flights, when they don't even have bids for a customs and CIS facility, when OKCs will be finished by June.

    Also, 300 lost jobs is nothing. That can be absorbed by OKC easily.

    There will never be a way to neutralize the effects of DFW. American keeps prices low there deliberately, for this exact reason, to undercut surrounding areas.

    The FIS facility at TUL is currently under construction and will be operational in summer 2026.

    Also, with our exploding Hispanic population, don't be shocked if a lot of these flights are not to tourist destinations but are instead intended to serve people visiting family in Mexico and not the beach.

    OKC Metro is 16% Hispanic with 75% of them being of Mexican decent. That's a population of 175,000 people with potential family to visit.

    I think all of us will get daily Mexico City and Acapulco flights but they’ll have weekly Oaxaca and Los Mochis flights just for you.

    I was just there in November. Incredible city that more Americans are starting to visit so I could see that happening at some point. The airport there is a mess though.
