Milwaukee Airport Live 24/7 – Runway view with flight tracking. Stream by Flightradar24 · Subscribe on YouTube

Billy Mitchell’s airport

Milwaukee County bought the airfield in 1926, and it was renamed in 1941 after General Billy Mitchell, who grew up in Milwaukee. Today it serves Milwaukee and south-east Wisconsin, competing with Chicago’s airports to the south.

What you’ll see on the live cam

Domestic jets from Southwest, Delta, American and United make up most of the traffic, along with low-cost carriers and cargo flights. Winter brings snow, de-icing and blizzards off Lake Michigan, a favourite for weather watchers.

Runways

MKE has five runways, including the main 01L/19R and 07R/25L. The flow depends on the wind off Lake Michigan.

Best times to watch

Morning and evening: business travel peaks.
Winter storms: de-icing operations and snow clearing.

Southwest Airlines Boeing 737
Delta, American and United regional and mainline jets
