Eppley Airfield (KOMA) is one of the primary air-carrier airports serving Omaha, NE at a field elevation of 984 ft. KOMA reports its own METAR and publishes a TAF, and broadcasts digital ATIS (D-ATIS), decoded live on this page as flight category, wind, visibility, ceiling and altimeter. It has 3 physical runways (14L/32R, 14R/32L, 18/36), the longest 9,502 ft. The official FAA airport diagram is at the bottom of the page.
Wind from the south-southeast (160°) at 8 kt, visibility 10+ statute miles, scattered clouds at 8,000 ft, temperature 14°C (57°F), altimeter 30.02 inHg. Conditions are Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

The D-ATIS states arrivals on runway 14R, 14L and 18; crosswind on the active runways is approximately 2–3 kt; the wind favors runway ends 14L, 14R, 18. Density altitude is approximately 950 ft (field elevation 984 ft). Review the latest TAF below for forecast changes before departure.
KOMA by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for OMA in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from OMA's own airspace.
KOMA reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 282 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the southeast-facing ends (14L, 14R) had the best headwind 36% of the time, the northwest-facing ends (32L, 32R) 25%, and winds were calm 10% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 38 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KOMA was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 2% from June to August.
OMA departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 81% of the time across 25,051 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (69%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KOMA ran southeast flow 72% of the time and north flow 11%. Runway 14L was named for arrivals most often (63% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 73 times.

“Current use” is what the D-ATISstates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
