Airports

Commercial Service

Wilmington Airport in northern Delaware is the state's only commercial airport and has seen prior service from airlines including Delta, and United and Skybus. In June 2013, Frontier Airlines began service from the airport to numerous destinations throughout the country. This ended a five-year stretch in which Delaware was the only state in the union without commercial service. Frontier Airlines ended service from the airport in April 2015.[3]
