Which runway is MSP using?

The wind is light or variable right now, so it doesn't point to one direction; MSP will be using its usual layout for the time of day.

We estimate the runway in use from the wind in the latest weather report and from the paths of aircraft on final approach. Planes take off and land into the wind where they can, so when the wind shifts, the runways change. This is for interest only, not an official runway assignment.

Is MSP delayed right now?

No FAA delay was reported for MSP (FAA update at 8:31 a.m. CST). We show the FAA's own airport status, which covers ground stops, ground delay programs and general arrival or departure delays. It doesn't cover delays caused by a single airline, crew or aircraft, so for one flight, check the airline's app or website.

Which planes are landing at MSP right now?

The board above lists aircraft on approach and landing now, picked up from their ADS-B broadcasts: callsign, airline, aircraft type, height and distance out. It's live, not a schedule, so a flight appears once it's close enough for receivers to hear and leaves the list after it lands. Times shown are estimates from speed and distance.

Why isn't my flight on this board?

This board is built from aircraft broadcasts, not airline schedules. A flight appears only when it's airborne near the airport and in range of a receiver. Flights still on the ground elsewhere, some private aircraft, military flights and aircraft that opted out of tracking won't appear. For gates, terminals and times, use the airline's app or the airport's website.

What does a ground stop mean?

A ground stop is an FAA order that holds flights bound for an airport at their departure airports for a while, usually because of storms, low visibility, equipment problems or too much traffic. Planes already in the air keep coming. A ground delay program is milder: flights get later departure times instead of being held until further notice.

Where can I see terminal and gate information?

We don't have gate or terminal data. Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport / Wold–Chamberlain Field's own website and your airline's app are the right places for gates, terminals, baggage claim and pickup areas. Use this page for what's in the air and the conditions at the field right now.
