Midland, Texas — The Midland International Air & Space Port has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the 70,000-passenger mark in a single month for the first time in its history. In June 2024, the airport reported 70,340 passengers boarded flights operated by Southwest Airlines, American Eagle, United, and Delta.
