Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at KWWD?
Cape May County Airport (KWWD) has no onsite customs facility. The nearest customs airport is Dover AFB (KDOV), located 26.98 nautical miles away. Crews requiring a customs clearance for international arrivals need to plan a stop there or coordinate clearance through that facility in advance. This distance should be factored into routing and fuel planning for any flight arriving from outside the United States. KWWD itself remains a domestic-only stop for customs purposes.
What fuel is available at KWWD?
Cape May County Airport (KWWD) stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. Self-service fuel is available around the clock using a credit card, located on the apron near the intersection of taxiway A and taxiway F. This self-serve access means crews are not limited to the field's staffed hours for fuel. The airport's attendance schedule runs daily from 0800 to 1700, but fuel purchases through the self-serve pump are not tied to that window.
Are there taxiway width restrictions for larger aircraft at KWWD?
Yes, KWWD has two taxiway segments restricted by wingspan. Taxiway B south of taxiway A is limited to aircraft with wingspans under 79 feet, and taxiway A west of taxiway F carries the same 79-foot wingspan restriction. Aircraft exceeding this wingspan need to plan routing around these segments during ground movement. Dispatchers handling larger business jets should confirm taxi routing with the airport ahead of arrival to avoid these restricted sections.
What is the weight limit on Taxiway C at KWWD?
Taxiway C at Cape May County Airport (KWWD) is an FAA research taxiway restricted to aircraft with a weight limit of 28,000 pounds. Aircraft heavier than 28,000 pounds should not use this taxiway. This restriction is specific to taxiway C and does not apply to the airport's runways, which are rated for larger aircraft given their paved lengths. Crews operating heavier business jets need to route around taxiway C during ground operations at KWWD.
When does KWWD see its busiest traffic months?
Business aviation traffic at Cape May County Airport (KWWD) concentrates heavily in the summer months, according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. July recorded 541 business aviation operations and August recorded 519, the two highest months of the year. This compares to a low of 31 operations in February. Dispatchers planning summer trips into KWWD should expect a noticeably busier field than during the winter months, consistent with the airport's location near the Jersey Shore.
