Overview
Delaware Coastal Airport (KGED / GED) sits in Georgetown, Delaware, where it functions as a general aviation field. The field lies at an elevation of 53 feet. The field has no airline schedules, which keeps it focused on private and general aviation flying.

Useful alternates include Salisbury Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport (SBY, 22 nm), Ocean City Municipal Airport (OCE, 25 nm), and Dover Civil Air Terminal/Dover Air Force Base (DOV, 27 nm). GED offers 2 runways, the longest 5,500-foot paved runway, which supports charter types through the heavy jet class.
