Right Rudder Marketing helps Midland-area flight schools capture that demand and turn it into booked discovery flights.
Midland International Air and Space Port (KMAF) anchors the metro’s aviation, with Odessa-Schlemeyer (KODO) serving general aviation and training on the west side. Each serves its own part of the Permian Basin.
