TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa International Airport has changed its policy regarding passenger pickup.

Effective August 18th, parking and waiting at the curb for passengers to arrive will no longer be permitted. Vehicles parked at the curb must be in the process of active loading or unloading of baggage and picking up or dropping off passengers, according to the airport.

Airport officials said traffic has increased on the roadways at the airport, so the move is to improve flow and safety of passengers.

Visitors awaiting the arrival of passengers must now wait in the cell phone lot, located off the airport entrance road south of the terminal.

Airport officials said the move aligns Tulsa International with other airports that have not allowed curbside parking since 2001.
