About Tipton Airport

Tipton's History

Tipton Airport is a former U.S. Army airfield designated for privatization by the 1988 Base Realignment & Closure Act. The Airport closed in 1995 and reopened on November 1, 1999 and is operated today by the Tipton Airport Authority, which is a state-chartered public corporation. The 366-acre facility is bordered by Ft. Meade, the National Secuirty Agency, and the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge.

Tipton's Future

We intend for Tipton to be a state-of-the-art general aviation facility with a strong community presence and home to many sport, recreational, private, and business aircraft. No scheduled airline, commuter, or cargo service is expected now or in the future. Near-term plans for the airport include continued improvement of our facilities, obstruction removal, and continually improving service for you. In the 2014/2015 timeframe we are planning for a 1,200 foot extension to east end of the runway. Tipton has a great future ahead of it and we hope you'll make us your permanent home or your home away from home.
