The World’s Oldest Continuously Operated Airport
Did you know? College Park Airport has been an active airport since 1909 when it was founded by the Wright Brothers!

The facility is now the world’s oldest continually operated airport and is the site of many significant aviation firsts. College Park Airport, known as the “Field of Firsts,” remains an active airport serving the needs of aircraft pilots, and is also a site for history buffs and aviation enthusiasts.
