Description
||

College Park Airport is the world's oldest continuously operated airport, where Wilbur Wright began training pilots in 1909.

The airport is a 10-minute walk to the DC Metro (Red & Green Lines, College Park station), which provides quick access to the entire DC region. As of 2025, a Metro fare card is no longer required. You can tap in-and-out of the turnstiles using your contactless credit card or smart phone.

The airport is located within the Flight Restricted Zone, so pilot vetting is required before operating in and out of the facility. Vetting information is available on the College Park Airport website.

There are noise-sensitive areas surrounding the airport and unique arrival and departure instructions. Full details are located on the College Park Airport website.
