Okla. Stat. tit. 3, § 3-65.2v2: General powers of municipalities in the establishment,

acquisition, operation and maintenance of airports, vertiports, and

air navigation facilities.

A. Establishment, Operation, Land Acquisition. Every

municipality is authorized, out of any appropriations or other

monies made available for such purpose, to plan, establish, develop,

construct, enlarge, improve, maintain, equip, operate, regulate,

protect and police airports, vertiports, and air navigation

facilities, either within the territorial limits of such

municipality or within the territorial boundaries of this state,

including the construction, installation, equipment, maintenance and

operation at such airports of buildings and other facilities for the

servicing of aircraft or for the comfort and accommodation of air

travelers, and the purchase and sale of supplies, goods and

commodities as an incident to the operation of its airport

properties. For such purposes the municipality may use any

available property that it may now or hereafter own or control and

may, by purchase, gift, devise, lease, eminent domain proceedings or

otherwise, acquire property, real or personal, or any interest

therein including easements in airport hazards or land outside the

boundaries of an airport, vertiport, or airport site as are

necessary to permit safe and efficient operation of the airport or

vertiport or to permit the removal, elimination, obstruction-

marking, or obstruction-lighting of airport hazards or to prevent

the establishment of airport hazards.

B. Acquisition of Existing Airports. Any municipality may by

purchase, gift, devise or lease acquire existing airports,

vertiports, and air navigation facilities, provided however it shall

not acquire or take over any airport or air navigation facility

without the consent of the owner thereof.

C. Establishment of Airports on Public Waters and Reclaimed

Lands. For the purposes of the Municipal Airports Act, a

municipality may establish or acquire and maintain, within or

bordering upon the territorial limits of the municipality, airports

in, over and upon, any public waters of this state, any submerged

lands under such public waters, and any artificial or reclaimed

lands which before the artificial making or reclamation thereof

constituted a portion of the submerged lands under such public

waters; and may construct and maintain terminal building, landing

floats, causeways, roadways and bridges for approaches to or

connecting with any such airport, and landing floats and breakwaters

for the protection thereof.

D. Limitation on Design and Operation of Air Navigation

Facilities. All air navigation facilities established or operated

by municipalities shall be supplementary to and coordinated in

design and operation with those established and operated by the

federal and state governments.
