Ocean Aviation Flight Academy, a flight training institution on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, has opened a new facility at Delaware Coastal Airport near Georgetown.

“The expansion allows us to better serve new and existing students in Sussex County, and surrounding areas farther north and west of our main campus in Ocean City, Md. The facility includes new offices and a corporate aircraft hangar to accommodate up to seven training aircraft,” said Michael Freed, founder and president.

In June, Ocean Aviation signed a long-term lease agreement after submitting the winning proposal to Sussex County officials to base a flight school/training academy at the county's airport, a general aviation facility serving a mix of corporate and small private aircraft in southern Delaware.

County and company officials said the partnership will allow for expanded flight training opportunities for the flying public, while giving Ocean Aviation the chance to expand its footprint in the growing Delmarva market.
