Mauney Heliport

The closure was an administrative decision made at the request of the owner, CityPlex Towers LLC. This type of closure is typically due to a combination of factors such as lack of use, high costs for insurance and maintenance, and the desire to eliminate potential liability. There is no indication that the closure was the result of an accident, safety violation, or military conversion.

The physical site is the rooftop of the CityPlex Tower, a prominent office building in Tulsa. While the concrete helipad and markings may still exist on the roof, it is no longer a registered or legally operational aviation facility. The site's sole function is as part of the office tower's structure, and it cannot be used for landings or takeoffs.

The heliport, which had the FAA Location Identifier (LID) 8OK8, is situated atop the 60-story, 648-foot CityPlex Tower. The building was originally constructed as the City of Faith Medical and Research Center, which operated from 1981 to 1989. During this period, the heliport was a vital component of the hospital's infrastructure, primarily used for air ambulance (Medevac) services to transport critical patients. After the hospital closed and the complex was converted into commercial office space, the facility was registered as a private-use heliport named Mauney Heliport, available for corporate or private helicopter operations by the building's owners or tenants.

There are no known or publicly announced plans to reopen Mauney Heliport. A reopening would require the owner to initiate a new certification process with the FAA, ensuring compliance with all current safety regulations and standards. Given that the owner voluntarily closed the facility, its reopening is considered highly unlikely in the foreseeable future.
