On any given summer Friday, aircraft ranging from single-engine propeller planes to large corporate jets can be seen swooping down on the runways and filling the skies above Sussex County’s only public-use airport.
The Delaware Coastal Airport in Georgetown houses just over 60 aircraft from private individuals and corporations in the area, and it’s an important access point for people traveling to the beaches in the summer, according to Airport Manager Robert Bryant.
Still, the demand for storing and servicing aircraft continues to grow, and Bryant recognizes that the county-owned airport – which has evolved since its creation in 1943 – has not kept up with that demand.
