Salisbury Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport (SBY) is a public commercial airport on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, located about five miles southeast of downtown Salisbury and roughly 30 miles from Ocean City. It is the primary commercial airport for the Delmarva Peninsula’s Maryland and Ocean City area, with scheduled American Eagle flights operated by Piedmont Airlines to Charlotte and Philadelphia. The airport also supports general aviation and military operations with two runways and a compact terminal.
💡 Local Tip
Because SBY is a small, single-terminal airport, security is usually quick, but food and retail options are limited and may close between flights—eat before you arrive or grab something in Salisbury. Frequent visitors also know that flying into SBY can avoid the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and BWI traffic when heading to the Eastern Shore.
🚖 Getting There
By car, take US-50 to the Salisbury area and follow airport signs; the terminal is about 5 miles southeast of downtown Salisbury. Taxis and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) serve the airport, but availability can be limited late at night, so pre-book if arriving on the last flight. If you're heading to Ocean City, allow 35–45 minutes and watch for summer weekend congestion on US-50.
