The Private Aviation Standard for Wilmington / Philadelphia

With a legacy stretching back to the 1920s, New Castle Airport has long played a vital role in the Mid-Atlantic’s aviation landscape. Today, ILG stands as the premier private jet facility for Delaware and the surrounding tri-state area, offering approximately 50,000 operations annually, nearly all of which are private or corporate flights.


What makes New Castle Airport distinct is its focus on premium general aviation, supported by a 7,275-foot runway capable of accommodating a full spectrum of business jets. The airport operates well clear of large commercial airline traffic, providing an environment intentionally designed for private jet travelers.


From the moment you drive up to the FBO, you’re met with dedicated, attentive service that eliminates unnecessary delays. The process from arrival to takeoff is smooth and discreet, ensuring that your focus remains on your schedule, not on airport logistics. For business and leisure travelers alike, this translates to remarkable flexibility and a significant time advantage over larger commercial alternatives.
