In this environment, a 'connection' typically involves transferring between private aircraft or transitioning from an air arrival to ground transportation for further travel across west Texas. Since there are no scheduled commercial passenger flights from major airlines, all arrivals and departures are handled directly through the municipal terminal. The lack of traditional security lines and baggage carousels means that you can move between your aircraft and the terminal in just a few minutes.\n\nIf your travel itinerary requires a connection from IRB to a major commercial hub like Midland International Air & Space Port (MAF) or San Angelo Regional Airport (SJT), you must carefully plan your ground transportation. The drive to Midland takes approximately 90 minutes via TX-349, while reaching San Angelo usually takes about two hours. It is highly recommended to pre-arrange a rental car or have a private vehicle waiting for you, as on-demand ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft may not be readily available in this rural part of Pecos County. Rental cars are not permanently stationed at the airport, so you should coordinate with local businesses in the city of Iraan or arrange for a vehicle to be delivered to the terminal.\n\nWhile at the terminal, travelers can utilize the basic amenities and the quiet waiting area. For longer waits, the city of Iraan is just a short distance away and offers a few local diners and lodging options. Always keep a close eye on the local weather, as high winds and desert thunderstorms can rapidly impact flight schedules in west Texas.", "country": "United States of America", "flag_url": "https://flagcdn.com/w320/us.png", "flight_search_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "frequent_traveler_tip": [ "Private/GA airport; no scheduled service at this airport.", "FBO services available for private aircraft at this airport.", "Runway length 800ft; check performance at this airport.", "TSA PreCheck can save 15+ minutes at this airport.", "Bus service to city center center available at this airport." ], "global_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=Iraan+Municipal+Airport+Iraan", "google_maps_reviews": { "rating": 0.0, "recent_reviews": [], "total_reviews": 0 }, "hotel_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "iataCode": "IRB", "icao": "ZIRB", "international": false, "last_modified": "June 2026", "last_updated": "2026-03-29", "latitude": 30.9057006836, "layover_planner_info": "No dedicated layover amenities; short transfers recommended.", "longitude": -101.891998291, "mct_domestic_to_domestic": 35, "mct_domestic_to_international": 65, "mct_interline": 100, "mct_international_to_domestic": 65, "mct_international_to_international": 80, "missed_connection_help": "Contact airport staff or airline representatives on-site.", "name": "Iraan Municipal Airport", "region": "Americas", "related_airports": [ { "code": "MAF", "name": "Midland International Air & Space Port" }, { "code": "OZA", "name": "Ozona Municipal Airport" } ], "terminal_info": "Iraan Municipal Airport (IRB) is a public-use aviation facility serving the city of Iraan and the Pecos County region in west Texas.
