Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City, Coast Guard air station in Egg Harbor Township, US.
Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City is a helicopter rescue and patrol facility located at Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. The station operates multiple aircraft dedicated to search and rescue missions, maritime enforcement, and emergency response across a wide geographic area.
The air station became operational in 1998 following a merger of two separate Coast Guard facilities that had previously served different areas of the northeast. This consolidation created a single, centralized command structure with enhanced coverage for maritime and aviation operations.
Personnel at the station conduct regular demonstrations during the Atlantic City Air Show, displaying emergency response procedures and maritime safety techniques.
This is an active military facility without public access to the grounds or interior spaces. Visitors interested in viewing aircraft or learning about operations can attend air shows where the station occasionally provides displays and demonstrations.
The facility maintains specialized rapid-response teams trained for some of the most difficult rescue scenarios in coastal and maritime environments. These crews practice regularly in challenging conditions to handle everything from aircraft emergencies to severe weather operations.
