How to Get from Midland International Airport to Odessa

Midland International Air & Space Port is at 9506 La Force Blvd in Midland, Texas, between Midland and Odessa. Its position makes it accessible from multiple routes, so your approach depends on which highway you’re using.

If you’re arranging a ride, note that the terminal front curb is for private-vehicle pickup and drop-off, not commercial operators. Vehicles at that curb must remain attended by a legal operator.

From Odessa, follow the airport’s published directions via I-20 or Business 20 to FM 1788, then continue north to South Loop 40.

1. From I-20 or Business 20, exit onto FM 1788 and head north.
2. Turn right onto South Loop 40.
3. Follow South Loop 40 as it becomes Sloan Field Blvd and then La Force Blvd, which leads to the terminal.

If you’re approaching from Highway 191 instead, take FM 1788 south, turn left onto South Loop 40, then follow it as it becomes Sloan Field Blvd and La Force Blvd. These routes lead to the terminal; follow airport signs for parking or your chosen pickup area.
