Tulsa Riverside Airport (IATA: RVS[1], ICAO: KRVS, FAA LID: RVS) is a city-owned, public-use airport located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) south of the central business district of Tulsa, a city in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, United States.[2] The facility was known as Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport for several decades but was formally renamed in January 2022 to reduce confusion with another airport in Oklahoma.[3] In the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021-2025, Riverside is classed as a national-level nonprimary airport, and a reliever airport for Tulsa International.[4] National nonprimary airports are those that serve primarily general aviation (GA) users in metropolitan areas near major business centers, and have high traffic including many jets and multi-engine aircraft.[5]
The airport is the busiest in Oklahoma in terms of takeoffs and landings: more than 223,300 in 2023. The airport averaged 534 operations per day for the 12-month period ending October 10, 2018,[6] making it considerably busier than Tulsa International (which has an average 254 operations per day)[7] or Oklahoma City’s Will Rogers World Airport (which has an average 302 operations per day).[8]
