Airport layout diagram Essex County Airport (IATA: CDW, ICAO: KCDW, FAA LID: CDW) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) north of the central business district of Caldwell, a borough of northwestern Essex County in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is owned by the Essex County Improvement Authority and is a popular general aviation airport for aircraft traveling to New York City and northern New Jersey.
Although the FAA officially lists the airport's location as Caldwell and the FAA/IATA identifier "CDW" is an abbreviation of "Caldwell Wright" from the history of this field, the airport buildings and grounds are located entirely in Fairfield Township. The FAA control tower at Essex County Airport is officially called Caldwell Tower. History
In April 1929 Essex Airport Corporation was formed by Walter Marvin and six other individuals. The intention of the company was to open an airport to serve Montclair, New Jersey, a town seven miles away. The tract of land that Essex Airport Corporation intended for the airport was the Fairfield Dairy Company land that had also been used during WWI as a temporary airfield for the Naval Rifle Range which had been located along the Passaic River in Pine Brook. Some of the early references to airport have the designation “Marvin Airport”, named after Walter Marvin.
The airport gained national attention when John F. Kennedy, Jr., who based his private aircraft there, crashed hours after departing the airport en route for Martha's Vineyard Airport with his wife and sister-in-law on July 16, 1999.
Traffic
For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2006, the airport had 245,872 aircraft operations, an average of 673 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 281 aircraft based at this airport: 79% single-engine, 19% multi-engine and 2% helicopter.
Facilities
Essex County Airport covers an area of 275 acres (111 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 4/22 measuring 4,553 x 80 ft (1,388 x 24 m) and 10/28 measuring 3,721 x 75 ft (1,134 x 23 m).
