## Description

One of the runways at Elizabeth City Regional Airport (IATA: ECG, ICAO: KECG), 01/19, has been closed indefinitely according to FAA airport data published in 2026, concentrating movements on the remaining main runway. The field in north-eastern North Carolina is owned by the US Coast Guard and shares its ramps with Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, the Aviation Logistics Center — the service's largest aviation maintenance facility, where C-130 airframes are overhauled — and the Aviation Technical Training Center. Civil activity is narrow: there are no scheduled passenger services and no freighter operations, so the airport has no cargo terminal and handles general aviation with FBO fuelling alongside military traffic. Regional air freight is trucked to Norfolk International (IATA: ORF), roughly 50 miles north-west along US-17, or to Raleigh-Durham (IATA: RDU) some 215 miles away. Surface links do the work, with US-17 and US-158 tying the city into Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad providing shortline rail access; a permanent CBP office at the field is not confirmed. TCOM manufactures surveillance aerostats next to the airfield, an unusual industrial neighbour for an airport of this size.
