Location
Midland, United States
Midland International Air and Space Port (MAF/KMAF) serves the Permian Basin region of West Texas, functioning as the primary commercial airport for Midland and Odessa. It handles a significant volume of traffic related to the oil and gas industry, which dominates the regional economy. In 2014, the airport became the first licensed commercial spaceport co-located with a public airport in the United States, adding 'Air and Space Port' to its name. This designation reflects its readiness to support future commercial spaceflight operations alongside conventional airline services. The airport is operated by the City of Midland and offers a modest but functional facility with connections to major hubs. It plays an outsized economic role relative to its size due to the energy sector activity in the surrounding Permian Basin.
