Delaware Coastal (GED) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Delaware Coastal (GED) Airport

Georgetown sits at the center of Sussex County, and its airport is the quiet runway that business jets and charter flights use when the destination is southern Delaware. When your wheels touch down on Runway 22, the last thing you want is a parking lot search or a rideshare timer that keeps resetting. Our Delaware airport limo service places a chauffeur on the FBO ramp before your aircraft shuts down, so the walk from the cabin door to a climate controlled sedan or SUV takes under a minute. Flight crews, executives, and families bound for the Cape Region beaches rely on this kind of precision every week.

Union Limousine has coordinated private aviation ground transport since 1997, and that background shows in the small details: the chauffeur tracks your tail number, confirms the FBO with your pilot, and carries a cart for golf bags and strollers. If your plans change at altitude, one text to dispatch updates the pickup time, and the car simply repositions.

Inside Delaware Coastal Airport: What Arriving Passengers Should Know

From Farm Field to Corporate Jet Gateway

The airfield began life as the Sussex County Airport and spent decades serving crop dusters, flight students, and weekend pilots. The rebrand to Delaware Coastal Airport signaled a different ambition: to become the preferred arrival point for the Delaware beaches and a working asset for the county economy. Sussex County and the Federal Aviation Administration have since poured roughly 40 million dollars into the field, lengthening the main runway, adding a crosswind runway, upgrading lighting, and paving a new general aviation tiedown apron. A 2024 master plan maps the next step, a main runway stretch from 5,500 to 6,000 feet, and the Park Avenue realignment that clears the way for it moved into its second construction phase in early 2026. A multi year full length taxiway project is also underway with FAA entitlement funding.

The result is a field that handles large corporate jets with ease. ALOFT AeroArchitects operates a Boeing 737 service center on the property, Ocean Aviation runs an FAA approved Part 141 flight academy, and the Delaware Aviation Museum keeps the county's flying heritage on display beside the ramp. Every October the Wings and Wheels fall festival fills the airport with vintage aircraft, a car show, and warbird flights, drawing visitors from across Delmarva.

Airlines and Destinations

No scheduled airline operates at GED. Delaware Coastal is a general aviation airport, so the aircraft you see on the ramp belong to charter operators, fractional programs, corporate flight departments, flight schools, and private owners. Domestic destinations are therefore whatever the charter is filed for. The closest major markets are the Washington, DC area, Philadelphia, and New York, with flight times of roughly 20 minutes to DC, 22 minutes to Philadelphia, and 30 minutes to New York City, and seasonal charters continue to Florida and the Carolinas. International arrivals have been accommodated through US Customs and Border Protection clearance arranged with advance notice to the FBO. Travelers who need an airline ticket use Salisbury Regional in Maryland, Philadelphia International, or Baltimore Washington International, and our Salisbury Regional (SBY) airport car service covers the closest of those commercial fields for connecting passengers.

Terminal and FBO Facilities

There is no airline style terminal at Delaware Coastal. Passengers arrive and depart through the Skyline Aviation FBO, which handles fueling, ramp parking, and crew services. The field is served by two paved runways, a 5,500 by 150 foot main runway (4/22) with LED edge lighting and a Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System on the Runway 4 end, plus a 3,109 by 75 foot crosswind runway. Both VOR and GPS instrument approaches serve the main runway, which keeps the field usable in the coastal fog that rolls in off Delaware Bay. The airport facilities page publishes the airfield diagram and approach procedure links for anyone planning a flight.

Services Available on the Field

• Jet A with additive and 100LL avgas from Skyline Aviation, with self fueling permits available for based operators
• Aircraft maintenance and annual inspections through Sussex Aero Maintenance
• Heavy jet completions, auxiliary fuel systems, and interior work at ALOFT AeroArchitects
• Pilot controlled runway and taxiway lighting on 123.00 MHz, with Dover Approach handling arrivals and departures
• Hangar lots and T hangar waiting lists administered by the county

Operating Hours and Contact

The airport office keeps hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, and the FBO can be reached at +1 302 855 2355 for ramp arrangements. A full breakdown of on field operators appears on the airport's aeronautical services page.

A Note on Rail Access

Delaware Coastal is one of the few general aviation airports in the region with rail access on the property, a feature aimed at freight and industrial tenants of the business park. Passengers will not find a commuter train here, which is one reason a reserved car matters so much.

Aircraft Operations and Passenger Volume

Delaware Coastal records tens of thousands of takeoffs and landings each year, with county officials citing figures above 35,000 annual operations as the beach economy grew. Because the traffic is general aviation, there is no published airline passenger count. Volume follows the calendar: summer weekends, Memorial Day through Labor Day, holiday weeks, and event dates such as Wings and Wheels or race weekends at Dover bring the heaviest ramp activity. Winter months are quieter, with corporate flights and flight training making up most movements.

Parking Overview

Automobile parking at GED is a surface lot outside the FBO, sized for based pilots and day visitors, and airport staff can confirm current terms by phone. Long term aircraft parking on the apron requires a county application. For arriving passengers, the practical takeaway is simple: there is no multilevel garage, no shuttle loop, and no payment kiosk to navigate. Your chauffeur meets you at the FBO door, and the car is already positioned where ramp access rules allow.

Pickup and Drop Off at the FBO

Arrivals: share your tail number and estimated arrival with our dispatch when you book. The chauffeur monitors the flight, checks in with Skyline Aviation, and waits inside the FBO lounge or curbside at Rudder Lane depending on ramp conditions. Luggage moves straight from the aircraft baggage hold to the vehicle.

Departures: we recommend arriving at the FBO 20 to 30 minutes before your scheduled wheels up time. The chauffeur drops you at the FBO entrance, and the line crew handles the rest. For early morning departures before the 8:00 AM office opening, confirm access arrangements with your flight operator in advance; our drivers are accustomed to pre dawn drop offs at this field.

Ground Transportation Around Georgetown

Ground transport at GED is limited. Hertz rental cars can be arranged by phone through the airport, DART First State bus routes serve central Georgetown but not the airport gate, and taxis must be called from Georgetown or Lewes with wait times that stretch on summer afternoons. Rideshare coverage in Sussex County depends on how many drivers happen to be near Route 113 at the moment you land. A reserved chauffeur removes every one of those variables. Our Delaware airport chauffeur service covers GED alongside Wilmington and Dover Air Force Base arrivals, so the same dispatch team can manage a crew swap or a multi airport itinerary.

Tips for Passengers Arriving at GED

• Bring your own ground transportation plan; there is no taxi rank at the FBO
• Beach traffic on Route 1 between Lewes and Fenwick Island is heaviest from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening in summer
• Cell coverage is strong on the field, so confirm your chauffeur's location by text as you taxi in
• Coastal weather can shift fast; if your pilot diverts to Salisbury or Dover, our dispatch reroutes the car at once
• Pack beach gear in soft bags where possible, since they fit neatly in SUVs and Sprinters
• Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth sits on the way to the beach and is tax free shopping, which many guests work into the ride

Why a Reserved Chauffeur Is the Right Call at GED?

At a rural general aviation airport, the taxi or rideshare question answers itself. Those services are built for density, and Georgetown has farmland in every direction. A pre booked chauffeur is contracted to be present at a set time, regardless of surge pricing or driver availability, and the fare is quoted before you fly. The vehicle is inspected, the driver is licensed for commercial passenger transport, and the booking carries a confirmation you can forward to a flight department or an executive assistant. For crews and principals who cannot afford a 40 minute wait on the ramp, that reliability is the entire point of the service.

Where We Drive from Delaware Coastal Airport?

Cape Region Beach Towns

The beaches sit about 15 miles east of the airport. A sedan reaches Lewes and the Cape May Lewes Ferry terminal in 25 minutes, Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach in roughly 30, and Bethany Beach or Fenwick Island in 35 to 45 minutes depending on the Indian River Inlet bridge traffic. Guests heading farther south often continue across the state line to Ocean City, Maryland, or to the wild horses of Assateague Island National Seashore, both well within a comfortable afternoon transfer.

Western Sussex and Kent County

Georgetown is also the gateway to Seaford, Laurel, Bridgeville, Milford, and Harrington, home of the Delaware State Fair each July. Dover, the state capital, is about 45 minutes north via Route 113 and Route 1, which puts Dover Motor Speedway, Dover Air Force Base, and the Legislative Hall district within an easy morning drive. The Route 1 toll plazas near Dover accept transponders from every member of the interstate E ZPass network, and our vehicles are equipped so tolls never slow the trip or surprise you on the invoice.

Long Distance Transfers to Wilmington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore

Many of our GED clients land privately and connect to airline flights elsewhere or attend meetings in the I 95 corridor. Wilmington is about two hours north, Philadelphia International is two and a half hours, and Baltimore Washington International sits roughly two hours west across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. For those runs we assign a sedan or SUV with Wi Fi and bottled water, and the chauffeur plans around bridge and beach traffic patterns that locals know well. Statewide coverage through our limo service in Delaware means the same account and the same standards apply whether the ride starts on the Georgetown ramp or at a Wilmington hotel.

Mini coaches work for corporate incentive groups, youth sports teams arriving by charter flight, and wedding guest shuttles between the airport, hotels, and venues. Forward facing seats, overhead storage, and a dedicated luggage bay keep the ride organized.

From the airport to the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and the send off, our coordinators build a transportation timeline that matches the wedding planner's schedule. Stretch limousines, Sprinters, and mini coaches can be mixed on the same day.

Wings and Wheels at the airport itself, NASCAR weekends at Dover Motor Speedway, the Delaware State Fair in Harrington, and the Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth Beach each bring private flights into GED. Book early for those dates; the fleet fills quickly.

Medical and Compassionate Travel

Air ambulance and medical charter flights sometimes land at Georgetown for patients continuing to Beebe Healthcare, TidalHealth, or home. Our chauffeurs handle those transfers with discretion, mobility assistance, and no rush. Local car service in Delaware coverage extends to follow up appointments in Lewes, Dover, or Wilmington once the patient has settled.

How to Reserve Your Delaware Coastal Airport Limo?

Booking takes a few minutes online or by phone. Share the date, the aircraft tail number or charter operator, the number of passengers, the amount of luggage, and the destination address.
