About Tipton Airport

Tipton's History

Tipton Airport is a former U.S. Army aifield designated for privatization by the 1988 Base Ralignment & Closure Act. The airport closed in 1995 and reopened in 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, National Secuirty Agency, and the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge.

Tipton's Future

Tipton is planned 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 planned or expected at any time, now or in the future. Near-terms plans for the airport include the installation of T-Hangars, rehabilitation of large hangars and pavement rehabilitation. Tipton has a great future ahead of it.
