Brunswick Golden Isles Airport , previously known as Glynco Jetport, is a county-owned public-use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) north of the central business district of Brunswick, a city in Glynn County, Georgia, United States. It is mostly used for general aviation, but is also served by one commercial airline. History Before 1975 the airport was Naval Air Station Glynco . In August 1942 the U.S. Navy began building the air station on in the northern part of the county. Named NAS Glynco as an abbreviation of Glynn County, it was a base for lighter-than-air airships, known as blimps. In 1973 Delta Air Lines McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30s flew direct from Glynco to Atlanta and Orlando and nonstop to Augusta, Jacksonville and Macon (the Augusta and Macon flights continued to Atlanta). In the Delta March 1, 1973 timetable, a DC-9-30 was scheduled Chicago O'Hare Airport - Cincinnati - Atlanta - Savannah - Brunswick - Jacksonville - Orlando. By fall 1974 Delta was no longer flying jets from the airport. Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) began serving the airport in 1981 with nonstop flights to Atlanta. In 1984 ASA began code sharing with Delta, operating as the Delta Connection and marking a return of Delta service to Brunswick. ASA flew Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirantes, Short 360s, and Embraer EMB 120 Brasilias nonstop from Atlanta. In 2002 the carrier introduced regional jet service to the airport with the Bombardier CRJ100/200. ASA's service was later replaced by Endeavor Air which continues to provide service as Delta Connection into 2022 using CRJ-200 regional jets. Earlier, Delta served Brunswick via the McKinnon St. Simons Island Airport from the mid 1940s through the 1960s using Douglas DC-3 and Convair 440 prop aircraft. As TRAWING 8 was decommissioned and VT-86 transferred to Training Air Wing SIX at NAS Pensacola, Florida, the Glynn County community hastily took control of its destiny when a group of 19 community leaders formed the Glynco Steering Committee to attract new users to the facility. Their hard work paid off in 1975 when the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) selected the former Glynco site for a consolidated training academy for federal law enforcement personnel. FLETC constructed their facility on the former blimp facility, while the community retained the airfield proper and its runway, which was designated the official county municipal airport in 1975. Both developments proved to be invaluable to the future of
