Wilmington Airport (also known as Wilmington/Philadelphia Regional Airport, New Castle County Airport, or New Castle Airport) is in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware.〔 Owned by the Delaware River and Bay Authority, it is five miles (8 km) south of Wilmington and about 30 miles (50 km) from Philadelphia.〔
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation ''reliever airport''.〔

〕 Thanks to the inauguration of service by Frontier Airlines, 2013 enplanements increased to 52,456.〔

== History ==
The airport opened before World War II, named the Wilmington Airport and the Greater Wilmington Airport. The facility was taken over by the United States Army Air Forces during the war. Under USAAF control, the airport became New Castle Army Air Base. Its mission was to facilitate the movement of aircraft to the British and other Allies. Members of the historic Women Air Service Pilots (WASP) served as test and ferry pilots and towed targets for student gunners. There is a statue today at the airport that honors the women of the WASP that served their country in the time of need.
After the war ended control of the airport was returned to civil authorities. A joint-use agreement was made between the United States Air Force and New Castle County authorities for a portion of the airport being retained for an Air National Guard Base. Trans World Airlines operated a large overhaul base for its overseas planes at the airport until 1957 when the airline moved it to the Kansas City Overhaul Base which became the basis for today's Kansas City International Airport.〔


Delaware's first airline flights were TWA and American at Wilmington in late 1947.
