How delays work at LIT

A ground stop holds flights bound for LIT at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • The airport is open 24 hours, but airlines, concessions and rental cars keep their own hours. Check each one before you go.
  • A pet relief area is in the concourse near the exit, across from the TSA checkpoint.
  • If a delay leaves you waiting landside, the public side of the terminal is open.
