Delaware

Delaware may be the second smallest U.S. state, but it still has a handful of airports that keep it connected. Here’s a breakdown of its key aviation facilities:

Primary Commercial Airport

• Wilmington Airport (ILG) – Also known as New Castle Airport, located near Wilmington. It has had intermittent commercial service over the years, with flights resuming again in 2023.

General Aviation Airports

• Delaware Coastal Airport (GED) – Located in Georgetown, it supports general aviation and some charter services.
• Delaware Airpark (33N) – Near Dover, used for flight training and general aviation.
• Summit Airport (EVY) – In Middletown, a busy general aviation field with maintenance and hangar services.
