About Chicago Midway International Airport

Chicago Midway International Airport carries the IATA code MDW and the ICAO code KMDW. It sits at 41.7860, -87.7524 in Chicago, United States, and is classified as a large airport with scheduled passenger service.

The codes are worth keeping straight, because they are not interchangeable. MDW is the three-letter IATA code — the one on your boarding pass and your baggage tag. KMDW is the four-character ICAO code air traffic control and flight planning systems use. This page tracks by position, so it shows every aircraft in the area regardless of which code its flight plan was filed under.

Positions come from volunteer ADS-B receivers and are provided for general interest. This is not a source of arrival or departure times — for those, check with the airline or the airport directly.
