Historical airline service

Bartlesville received commercial airline service between 1949 and 1974. Continental Airlines operated Douglas DC-3s at the airport from 1949 until 1961. Central Airlines arrived in 1950 flying Beechcraft Bonanzas and later upgrading to Douglas DC-3s and Convair 240s. In 1967 Central merged into the original Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) which flew Convair 580 aircraft. All carriers flew routes to Kansas City and Tulsa while Continental also flew direct to Denver with several stops. Frontier ended service in early 1974 and Bartlesville has not seen scheduled air service since then. Bartlesville is only 40 miles north of Tulsa.[4]
