Wilmington Airport Grows
![]() |
One of the things that has helped entice visitors to Wilmington is the expansion of Wilmington Airport, known as ILM.
The hospitality we extend to visitors begins at the airport, where volunteers are on hand to greet and help those who are arriving from other cities.
There are non-stop flights to and from five major cities so that those traveling to or from New York City’s Laguardia, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Orlando/Sanford or Atlanta can do so easily.
US Air has a host of connecting flights through Charlotte and Delta has a lot of connecting flights through Atlanta so that getting to other cities from these hubs is relatively painless too.
The airport served a record 814,502 passengers in 2008 and is sure to continue its annual growth, as it has for many years.
