Atlantic Aviation

Atlantic Aviation at New Castle Airport in Wilmington, Delaware, holds special significance as the original Atlantic Aviation location, with the company's roots at this airport spanning close to a century. The facility at 120 Old Churchmans Road provides a full suite of services including ground handling, charter coordination, international handling, cargo operations, forklift services, and security screening. Three hours advance notice is required for arrivals, which is longer than most FBOs and worth factoring into trip planning. The airport is positioned between Baltimore and Philadelphia, making it a practical mid-Atlantic stop for both destination travel and tech stops. New Castle Airport has a 7,012-foot primary runway that handles most business jet types, and the field benefits from generally good instrument approaches and lower traffic density than the major commercial airports nearby. Wilmington is the corporate home of many financial institutions and credit card companies that incorporated in Delaware for its business-friendly legal framework, and that corporate density drives steady private aviation traffic. Downtown Wilmington is about five miles north, and Philadelphia's Center City is roughly 30 minutes by car via I-95. The Brandywine Valley, with its Winterthur Museum, Longwood Gardens, and Wyeth art collections, is a popular side trip for visiting passengers. Atlantic Aviation's national network of over 100 locations means their fuel programs and loyalty benefits transfer seamlessly to this historic home base. For charter passengers doing business in Delaware or looking for a quieter alternative to Philadelphia International, Atlantic at KILG offers full-service handling with the pedigree of the company's founding location.
