We couldn't reach ILM's live departures feed this minute. It updates through the day — try again shortly. In the meantime, the live ILM security wait and your Leave-By Time are the fastest way to know when to leave.
No more ILMdepartures are scheduled today. The board fills back up with tomorrow's first flights after midnight, ILM local time.

Common questions · ILM departures
Check the conditions panel at the top of this page. We read ILM's live departures feed and show whether the schedule is light or busy right now, how many flights have already left, and how many are running behind. It refreshes through the day, so look right before you leave — and recompute your Leave-By Time so a busy morning doesn't catch you out.
The board on this page lists today's ILM departures straight from the live schedule feed — the time, airline, destination, terminal, and current status, soonest first. It covers flights leaving ILM itself; tracking one specific flight number gate to gate is better handled by your airline's app.
It depends on the day, so we chart ILM's departures hour by hour and mark the busiest stretch. Mornings and late afternoons usually pack in the most flights, which means longer security lines. Fly out in a quieter window — or check the live ILM security wait first — and you'll usually get through faster.
A delay can move your whole morning, so don't just sit on the old plan. Recompute your Leave-By Time with the new departure time, then check today's ILM security wait before you go — if the airport is quiet you may have room to spare, and if it's busy you'll still walk out the door at the right moment.
Often, yes — weather is one of the most common reasons departures back up. When it's slowing ILM down, you'll see it in the conditions and the board statuses above, because we show how today's flights are actually moving rather than forecasting the sky. If things are stacking up, recompute your Leave-By Time and check the live wait before you leave.
