The Private Aviation Standard for Baltimore/Washington D.C.

Originally established to support military operations, Tipton Airport has evolved into a preferred choice for private aviation in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. The airport’s manageable scale and dedicated private aircraft infrastructure ensure minimal wait times, quick access to the runway, and an environment focused on comfort and privacy.


Tipton is prized for its proximity to Fort Meade, NSA headquarters, and the thriving commercial centers of Annapolis, Columbia, and downtown Baltimore. Its location just minutes from I-295 and MD-32 means clients can transition from aircraft to ground transportation and be en route to their final destination in record time. Whether you’re flying for business or leisure, Tipton provides the flexibility and exclusivity that discerning private jet travelers demand.


The airport’s 3,000-foot runway is optimal for turboprops, very light jets, and select light jets, with rapid turnaround and dedicated support services. For travelers seeking efficiency, privacy, and a central location within Maryland, Tipton is a standout choice for private jet charter.
