Military airfield with civil terminal serving Dover, Delaware.

Opened
1941
Location
Dover, United States
Dover Civil Air Terminal, co-located with Dover Air Force Base (KDOV), serves both military and limited civilian aviation operations in Dover, Delaware. The base itself is one of the largest military airlift hubs in the United States, home to the 436th Airlift Wing operating C-5M Super Galaxies and C-17 Globemasters. The civil terminal handles general aviation and charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. Dover AFB is also well known as the location of the Charles C. Carson Center for Mortuary Affairs, which receives the remains of fallen U.S. service members from overseas. The airport sits adjacent to the Delaware Air National Guard's 166th Airlift Wing, further cementing its role as a predominantly military installation with ancillary civil aviation capabilities.
