Ports Jr. "We're glad to partner with Avelo to expand BWI's reputation for convenient, friendly, high-quality service up and down the East Coast."

Wilmington, North Carolina – Discover Adventure, Renewal and Convenience at its Finest
The Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is the perfect-sized airport and huge on hospitality and convenience. As the fifth largest airport in North Carolina, Southern hospitality greets visitors with beautiful public arts, a putting green and rocking chairs bidding welcome to the gateway to southeastern North Carolina.
"We look forward to welcoming visitors and showing off our vibrant community and also offering more options for area residents to take a trip and explore this new destination. We look forward to a great launch June 30," stated Jeff Bourk, ILM Airport Director.
From Wilmington's vibrant riverfront and scenic Riverwalk that winds around the storied Cape Fear River to three colorful island beaches, there is something about the water that surrounds, transforms, and enthralls visitors. One destination with four unique settings creates a bounty of vibrant vacation experiences. From horse-drawn carriage rides on the old brick-lined streets to the rhythm of live music along the riverfront, Wilmington embraces influences from the past and present.
