Location

New Castle, United States

Wilmington Airport (ILG), officially known as Wilmington Airport, is located in New Castle, Delaware, just south of downtown Wilmington. It serves as the primary commercial service airport for the state of Delaware and the greater Wilmington metropolitan area. The airport is owned and operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) and handles both commercial passenger flights and significant cargo operations. Its proximity to Philadelphia International Airport means it competes for regional travelers but often attracts passengers seeking alternatives to the larger hub. Allegiant Air has used ILG as a focus city, operating leisure routes to various Sun Belt and vacation destinations. The airport also supports general aviation, military operations, and freight activity alongside its scheduled commercial service.

Terminals

The airport features a single passenger terminal with a modest number of gates suited to its regional traffic volume.
