Wilmington International Airport is a public use, commercial service airport serving the southeast coast of the US state of North Carolina. Popular particularly among private and corporate users, it has a 24-hour customs facility on site to serve the more than 3,400 private aircraft that fly in and out annually. Located halfway between Miami and New York City, it creates a desirable, less congested entry point into the US.

Official Spotting Locations

The airport's official spotting location is adjacent to the control tower. Heading eastbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Pkwy, turn left onto Kerr Ave. Drive for about 3/4 of a mile. Turn left onto Control Tower Drive. There are signs directing you to the official spotting location, immediately adjacent and slightly northeast of the control tower. Just before you hit the security gate for the control tower, make a right into this spotting location. It provides decent views of runway 6/24 and 17/35 operations.
