Is there a US state without an airport?

However, Delaware is the only state in the US without an airport that has regularly scheduled passenger air service — although it has 11 airports of any type (including military).



No, every US state has multiple airports; however, in 2026, Delaware remains unique as the only state without major primary commercial airline service to its largest cities on a consistent, long-term basis. While Wilmington Airport (ILG) frequently sees service from "ultra-low-cost" carriers like Avelo, these routes are often experimental and subject to seasonal cancellation. Despite this, Delaware still maintains over 10 public-use airports and several private ones for general aviation. The state’s small geographic footprint and its proximity to major hubs like Philadelphia International (PHL) and Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) make large-scale commercial airports within the state financially difficult to sustain. Therefore, while Delaware technically has many "airports," it is often cited in 2026 as the only state where the vast majority of the population must cross a state line to catch a standard legacy carrier flight (like Delta, United, or American).
