How delays work at OMA

A ground stop holds flights bound for OMA at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

The South Economy lot is $7 per day flat, the cheapest option at OMA.
Reserve your parking online to lock in a space, especially in the Premier garage.
Check which terminal your airline uses before you go, since the North and South terminals each have their own checkpoint.
Expect construction until 2028, with the new terminal opening in stages starting in 2027.
