Runways & Approaches

Atlantic City International's primary runway 13/31 measures 10,001 feet by 150 feet of grooved asphalt, served by an ILS, MALSR approach lighting, touchdown-zone lighting, and PAPI. This length and pavement strength support the entire business-jet spectrum — from light jets through ultra-long-range types such as the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500 — at full gross weight, even on hot days. Crosswind runway 04/22 adds 6,145 feet of asphalt with high-intensity lighting, giving operators alignment flexibility when winds favor it.

As a towered, joint civil-military airport, KACY operates 24/7 with the FAA control tower coordinating airline, charter, and military traffic, including the New Jersey Air National Guard's 177th Fighter Wing and a U.S. Coast Guard air station. Instrument approaches include ILS Cat I, RNAV (GPS), and VOR procedures, making the field reliably accessible in marginal coastal weather.

Airport Overview

Atlantic City International Airport (KACY/ACY) is a public, joint civil-military airport in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, owned and operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority. Sitting at 75 feet MSL roughly 13 miles northwest of the Atlantic City boardwalk via the Atlantic City Expressway, it combines scheduled airline service, on-demand charter, the New Jersey Air National Guard's 177th Fighter Wing, and a U.S. Coast Guard air station on a single field.

Runway Capability

KACY's primary runway 13/31 provides 10,001 feet of grooved asphalt, with crosswind runway 04/22 adding 6,145 feet. The long primary runway, strong pavement, and 75-foot field elevation let the airport handle the complete range of business jets — light, midsize, super-midsize, and heavy/ultra-long-range aircraft — at or near full gross weight with generous safety margins. This is a genuinely jet-capable commercial field, not a light-GA reliever.

FBO & Ground Services

Signature Aviation is the fixed-base operator at ACY, providing Jet-A and 100LL fuel, ramp and hangar space, a passenger lounge, crew cars, catering, and ground handling. Because the airport offers on-field U.S. Customs, Signature can coordinate international arrivals and departures, a meaningful advantage over many smaller South Jersey fields.

Customs & International Access

Atlantic City International is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, so private and charter aircraft can clear customs on arrival from international destinations rather than diverting to Philadelphia or Newark. Advance notice through CBP and the FBO is required; The Jet Finder can arrange the necessary coordination as part of trip planning.

Operational Considerations

The FAA control tower operates 24 hours, and the airport's instrument approaches — ILS Cat I, RNAV (GPS), and VOR — keep it accessible through coastal fog, frontal passages, and low ceilings. As a joint-use field, charter traffic shares the airspace with military flying; controllers sequence operations routinely, but schedule flexibility around active military periods is worth confirming for time-critical departures.

Regional Context

ACY is the principal jet-capable airport for the Atlantic City casino corridor, the South Jersey shore, and Cape May County. It offers a far shorter ground transfer to the boardwalk casinos and shore towns than Philadelphia (PHL) or Newark (EWR), making it the practical private-aviation gateway for the region while avoiding the congestion of the New York and Philadelphia Class B environments.

Charter Planning

Because Atlantic City sees concentrated seasonal demand around summer shore traffic and major casino, convention, and entertainment events, aircraft availability and FBO ramp space can tighten during peak weekends. Booking early and confirming customs and handling in advance smooths these periods. The Jet Finder sources Part 135 aircraft positioned near KACY to minimize repositioning cost on charter quotes.
