Strong Momentum at Philadelphia / Delaware Valley’s Most Convenient Airport

Wilmington Airport is conveniently located a short drive south of Philadelphia – offering a refreshingly fast, smooth, and simple alternative hometown airport experience. ILG’s adjacency to multiple major highways and railways makes it the most convenient and travel-friendly airport for Philly and the Delaware Valley, which encompasses portions of four states:

Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, South Jersey, and the northern Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Avelo Airlines took a flight from ILG on February 1, 2023. Avelo currently has one scheduled 189-seat Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 jetliner based at ILG. Avelo will add a second scheduled 737-800 at ILG later this month.
