Montgomery County Airpark (IATA: GAI, ICAO: KGAI) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northeast of the city of Gaithersburg, in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA.
The airport was built by developer William E. Richardson in 1960.[1] Richardson deeded title to the land to Montgomery County, which leased the land back to Richardson to operate the airport.[1] Richardson planned to operate charter flights and an air taxi to National Airport, Baltimore's Friendship Airport, and the soon-to-be-opened Dulles Airport.[1] The airport was dedicated on October 22, 1960.[2]
