Delaware Coastal Airport (IATA: GED[2], ICAO: KGED, FAA LID: GED) is a public use airport in Sussex County, Delaware, United States.[1] Owned by the Sussex County Council, it is located two nautical miles (4 km) southeast of the central business district of Georgetown.[1] This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[3]
The airport is known locally by various unofficial names, including County Airport and, especially, Georgetown Airport.[4] In mid-June 2015, the Sussex County Council voted to rename the airport from Sussex County Airport to Delaware Coastal Airport. The vote was since passed and the airport is now officially known as Delaware Coastal Airport.
