Air station Atlantic City

Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City was officially commissioned on May 18, 1998, as a consolidation of Coast Guard air operations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Located at the Federal Aviation Administration’s William J. Hughes Technical Center at the Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey, the station inherited missions and assets from former air stations in Brooklyn, Cape May, and others. The unit primarily operates MH-65 Dolphin helicopters, conducting search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, and homeland security patrols across the busy Delaware Bay, the Atlantic coastline, and metropolitan areas such as New York City and Philadelphia. Over the years, Air Station Atlantic City has played a crucial role in safeguarding coastal waters, responding to emergencies, and supporting national security efforts in the region.
