Travelers at Midland International Airport are advised to check their flight times with airlines after a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) nationwide ground stop is lifted, as arrival delays of aircraft may affect scheduled departure times.
Odessa Midland, TX, November 13, 2026 —
A nationwide ground stop issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been lifted. Following the lifting of this stop, travelers departing from Midland International Airport (MAF) are being advised to verify their flight schedules directly with their respective airlines.
The FAA’s ground stop, which temporarily halted all domestic flight departures across the United States, has concluded. However, the residual effects of this widespread disruption may continue to impact air travel operations.
Specifically, passengers planning to travel through Midland International Airport are urged to confirm their departure times. While the immediate FAA-issued ground stop has ended, the ripple effect of widespread flight cancellations and delays experienced nationwide could still lead to adjusted schedules at MAF.
Aircraft arrival delays resulting from the ground stop could potentially affect the departure times of subsequent flights. Therefore, it is crucial for travelers to obtain the most up-to-date information regarding their specific flights.
Airlines are the primary source for flight status updates. Passengers are encouraged to visit airline websites, use airline mobile applications, or contact airline customer service directly to confirm any changes to their scheduled departure. The airport administration notes that checking in advance can help mitigate potential inconvenience and ensure a smoother travel experience.
