Delaware Department of Transportation

Delaware Aeronautics

Safety & Security

One role of the DelDOT Office of Aeronautics is to ensure the safety and security of the airport facilities. In this role, the Department partners with many others, as the TSA  and FAA  have primary jurisdiction over these elements of aviation. On security, the Delaware State Police plays a key role in coordinating intelligence and prevention efforts, as well as being a first responder to emergencies.

Aircraft Hangar

On safety, fire departments, EMS, and DelDOT's TMC are important partners. The NTSB  plays an important part in investigating and understanding aviation accidents. The Office of Aeronautics' major contribution to safety on and around airports is through the inspection and licensing of airports  and the prevention and removal of obstructions (see Airport Land Use).
