Airport staff and a fixed-base operator at the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport reported strong recent Jet A fuel sales, progress on a new Jet A tank installation, and several operational updates including a postponed summer youth flight camp and a pending aero-education grant application.
In public comment, the airport’s FBO operator said new tanks have been installed and that crews are awaiting electrical work and concrete work to bring a full-functioning Jet A tank online. “We’ve been on highest gallon sold one month right after the other,” the FBO operator said, describing consecutive months of elevated Jet A sales.
Airport staff gave an operations update: the EAA-sponsored summer flight camp scheduled for late May had been postponed because volunteer pilots were unavailable after community air-show events and Oshkosh; staff said they are working on alternate arrangements and will notify parents of options. Staff also said new parking-lot curbs at the terminal have been installed and that the airport submitted its 2025 aero-education grant application to the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics (ODAA) to request program funding.
Staff announced a joint Guthrie–Edmond city council meeting tentatively scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12, at the Meridian Technology Center; the morning will include presentations and a planned airport visit and demonstration flights for council members and ODAA representatives. The board’s next regular meeting was listed as Aug. 12 at 3:30 p.m.
During board comments, several members praised staff work but raised a persistent concern about the airport’s website containing outdated information and incorrect board-member listings. One board member said their name was still shown as a predecessor on the site and asked staff to prioritize an overhaul. Staff said the city budget includes funds to overhaul the airport and city websites to meet updated ADA requirements and that they will attempt to coordinate the work across departments.
No regulatory changes or new policies were adopted during the meeting; these operational updates were presented for information and for staff follow-up.
