## Description

Cape May County Airport (IATA WWD, ICAO KWWD) began life as Naval Air Station Wildwood, a World War II dive-bomber training base whose surviving hangar now houses an aviation museum. Today the county-run field about four nautical miles north-west of Wildwood logs roughly 39,000 movements a year, all of them corporate, charter, helicopter and recreational — there are no scheduled passenger services and no regular freight operations. The site doubles as a county business and industrial park, but it has no cargo terminal, no handling agent and no customs post, so shipments from the Cape May peninsula reach the air network by road. The nearest field with meaningful freight infrastructure is Atlantic City International (ACY), some 65 kilometres north via the Garden State Parkway. For customs clearance, international lanes and belly capacity, Philadelphia International (PHL) roughly 145 kilometres away is the practical choice, with Newark Liberty (EWR) covering intercontinental traffic. WWD itself matters mainly for air ambulance work, corporate flying and coastal patrol operations.
