The airport is named in honor of comedian and legendary cowboy Will Rogers, an Oklahoma native, and holds the distinction of being named after a person who died in an airplane crash (as does the citys other major airport, Wiley Post Airport - both men died in the same crash). Will Rogers World Airport is unusual in that it is the only airport to use the designation "World," and that its name makes no reference to its city location. Although it it offers some customs and immigration services, it has no international destinations.

In 2009, over 3.38 million passengers passed through Will Rogers World Airport, down 8.91% from 2008. It is Oklahomas busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic and its second busiest cargo airport, behind Tulsa International Airport.
