Midland International Airport (KMAF) sits 5 miles southwest of downtown Midland, Texas, in the heart of the Permian Basin oil-and-gas country. The field handles modest commercial service (Southwest, American, Delta, United) and a substantial flow of business aviation — the Permian Basin is one of the most active oil-and-gas production regions in the world, and Midland is the corporate epicenter (Pioneer Natural Resources, ProPetro, Diamondback Energy, Concho Resources historically).
The three runways at KMAF (16R/34L 9,501 ft, 16L/34R 8,205 ft, 10/28 8,302 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Avflight Midland and Signature) handle business movements with substantial hangar capacity reflecting the heavy corporate aviation footprint. Field elevation is 2,871 feet, with significant summer density-altitude considerations on hot West Texas days (100°F+ pushes effective takeoff altitudes past 6,000 feet). The dominant operational considerations are West Texas weather (occasional severe thunderstorms with hail in spring, dust storms / haboobs, persistent wind), and the structural energy-corporate flow that creates steady year-round demand. Ground time to downtown Midland is 5–10 minutes; Odessa (the adjacent oil town) is 25.
