Airport Express

What Airport Express does

Airport Express, Inc. is a privately held Oklahoma City-based ground transportation company founded in 1987 that operates shared airport shuttle services to and from Will Rogers International Airport. The company runs door-to-door van service to homes, offices, and hotels across the Oklahoma City metro, with walk-up pickup at the airport's lower-level baggage claim 4 and 5 and no reservation required for standard 1-5 passenger trips; larger vehicles require 24-hour phone reservations at 1.5x the standard rate. Pricing is zone-based, with a $2.00 service fee on airport-originated trips and a $1.50 administrative fee per trip, and vehicles are independently owned and operated under a franchise-style model.

The service portfolio extends beyond core shuttles through an affiliated network: Airport Express Transportation Services, LLC handles 25-passenger luxury executive bus charters, sister company Premium Car Chauffeured Transportation Services offers black-car service, and partnerships with OCCT and MedRide supply handicapped-accessible vans and stretcher-aid vehicles. Customers can book through toll-free phone lines to a 24/7 dispatch office, an iCabbi-powered web booker, or native iOS and Android passenger apps.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis per ride, with no enterprise contracts, no public funding history, and no disclosed revenue. The company employs 51-100 people, maintains a Facebook presence for top-of-funnel engagement, and operates as a single-airport, single-metro incumbent with no geographic expansion or external investment indicated in the source data.

Direct peers

• Carey International: National chauffeured black car service that, like Airport Express's sister Premium Car OK, serves premium airport transfer and corporate ground transport demand with a driver-supplied fleet.
• Mears Transportation: Major airport ground transportation provider offering shared shuttles, private cars, and charter services out of a single dominant airport (Orlando), directly analogous to Airport Express's airport-centric, multi-service model.
• SuperShuttle: Historically the largest US shared-ride airport shuttle brand; its rise and fall illustrate the operating model and competitive dynamics (including rideshare displacement) that Airport Express navigates.
• GO Airport Shuttle: Operates shared-ride airport shuttle services in multiple US cities with door-to-door booking, closely matching Airport Express's core shared shuttle value proposition and customer use case.
• Carmel Car & Limousine: Established airport-focused black car and limousine service that competes for premium airport transfer demand in a manner similar to Airport Express's luxury black car offering via Premium Car OK.

Regional players

• Mellow Limousine: Regional airport ground transport and limousine operator with a similar multi-service (shuttle, sedan, charter) model, providing a comparable mid-market benchmark outside of Oklahoma City.

Emerging players

• Wingz: Pre-booked airport ride marketplace with flat pricing and vetted drivers, representing the next-generation, tech-forward competitor that could erode Airport Express's walk-up and phone-booked shuttle share.

Broad incumbents

• Uber: Dominant rideshare platform operating at Will Rogers World Airport and competing directly for the same solo/small-group airport transfer riders that constitute Airport Express's core shuttle demand.
• National Express Transit: Large multi-modal transit and shuttle operator with airport shuttle and paratransit programs in the US, providing a broader-market reference point for Airport Express's shuttle and accessible transport lines.
• Lyft: Rideshare incumbent that, alongside Uber, offers airport pickups at Will Rogers and exerts continuous pricing and convenience pressure on shared shuttle economics.
