Transportation in New Jersey’s Heartland
Airports
The Heartland of New Jersey is home to Atlantic City International Airport (ACY). Located on 2,200 acres in Pomona, recent improvements to the airport include a $40 million terminal and taxiway expansion and the addition of a 1,000-space covered parking garage. In recent years, airport passenger traffic has grown to more than one million annually.
In addition to general aviation airports in Millville and Hammonton, and the Spitfire Aerodrome in Pedricktown, New Jersey’s Heartland is within easy driving distance of the Philadelphia International Airport and New Castle County Airport in Delaware.
