[edit] "World airport" vs. "International airport"

Is there a distinction or a reason for the choice of words? Any history behind it? - Keith D. Tyler ¶ (AMA) 20:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

IT has been a "World Airport" as long as I have been alive, 25+ years. This is pure speculation, as I have never been able to ascertain the true reasoning behind the name, but it appears that since it is not an International Airport, the powers that be chose "World" as an importance modifier; that is, it sounds like "International" but isn't. WWWA is actually the smaller of the two main OK airports, with Tulsa having the International Airport. Mec modifier ^{(talk/contribs)} 06:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
