Will Rogers World Airport Considers Name Change in 2025 – Guthrie News Page

The iconic Will Rogers World Airport could undergo a major transformation in 2025, as the Oklahoma City Airport Trust has announced plans to change its name. The revelation follows an extensive survey that indicates a shift in local preferences and usage patterns.

According to the Oklahoma City Airport Trust, a survey was conducted to gather information about the use and awareness of the airport’s name. The survey, which reached approximately 6,000 participants, revealed a surprising trend: Only 19 percent of Oklahomans refer to the airport by its full name, “Will Rogers World Airport.”

The survey results prompted the Oklahoma City Airport Trust to consider a name change as part of an effort to better align with community preferences.

The name change is scheduled for February 2025, giving the organization ample time to deliberate and choose a name that resonates more with the public. The move reflects a broader trend of institutions reevaluating their branding to remain relevant and connected to their stakeholders.
