Aviation Services

Glynn County has a long history of service to the aviation community, dating from the opening of its first airport on St. Simons Island in 1938. The U.S. Navy occupied and operated both county airport facilities in WorldWar II, and left the valuable gift of an 8,000+ runway in Brunswick, rendering the facility capable of handling virtually any aircraft operational today. McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport offers crucial mid-island access for general aviation services, offering a full service FBO and Rental vehicle availabiltiy. Jekyll Island Airport supplies general aviation access as well.

These sites, offered by the Glynn County Airport Commission, are runway accessible and ideal for aviation/aerospace industries.
