The Civil Air Terminal Alternative
The Civil Air Terminal, located on the grounds of Dover AFB in the heart of Delaware, offers convenient access for large jets to annual NASCAR events, business meetings, and other amenities. Because of CAT's location on the base, additional paperwork is required, as well as mandatory minimum notice ahead of landing. For more information, please visit our Pilot Information Page. For general aviation, we encourage the use of our nearby airport, Delaware Airpark (33N), which is a public-use facility.
