Distance & flight time from ILN
Wilmington Airpark
ILN is the IATA code for Wilmington Airpark, a former U.S. Air Force base near Wilmington, Ohio, that later served as a major hub for the cargo carrier Airborne Express and its successor ABX Air. After ABX's parent DHL scaled back operations in the late 2000s, the airport lost most scheduled activity and shifted toward general aviation, flight training, and light industrial use tied to the surrounding Clinton County Port Authority redevelopment. Today ILN sees corporate aircraft, cargo charters, and occasional military traffic rather than passenger airline service. Its long runways, a legacy of its air base and freight-hub history, remain attractive for testing, aircraft storage, and logistics operations in southwestern Ohio.
