Injured in Car Accident at Linden Airport — Todd J. Leonard Law Firm Ready to Help

The Linden airport, also known as the Linden Municipal Airport, is located next to U.S. Route 1 & 9. This is a general aviation reliever airport comprised of 188 acres. There are two classes of airports that support general aviation: those that help to relieve congested primary airports and those that support limited commercial service. The airport is owned by the City of Linden.

The Linden airport, built in 1942, has in interesting history, in that during WW II there was a General Motors factory just across the street from the airport. It was called Linden Assembly and noted for producing military aircraft. Ultimately, the Wildcat aircraft, produced for the U.S. Navy, was made in Linden and then towed across the street to be flight tested. In 1954 the airport served as a temporary road racing course.

The airport land was divided up in 1998 and a new airport was built on the south side that included new hangars, taxiways and parking areas. A shopping center was built on the north side of the field. This airport has no control tower and only sees relatively light air traffic. Linden airport is also home to a large number of commuter and sightseeing helicopters, some military aircraft, multi-engine, single-engine craft and jets. The Linden Municipal Airport is located at 1101 W Edgar Rd, Linden, New Jersey.
