Woodbine Municipal Airport (ICAO: KOBI, FAA LID: OBI, formerly 1N4) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southeast of the central business district of Woodbine, in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States.[1] The airport is owned by the Woodbine Port Authority.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned OBI by the FAA,[1] but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned OBI to an airport in Óbidos, Pará, Brazil).[3]

Facilities and aircraft

Woodbine Municipal Airport covers an area of 700 acres (283 ha) at an elevation of 42 feet (13 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways with asphalt surfaces: 1/19 is 3,304 by 75 feet (1,007 x 23 m) and 13/31 is 3,073 by 75 feet (937 x 23 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2011, the airport had 12,375 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 33 per day. At that time there were 68 aircraft based at this airport: 95.6% single-engine, 2.9% ultralight, and 1.5% helicopter.[1]

Med-Trans Corp has a Medevac helicopter based at the airport. [4]
