Sussex Airport (ICAO: KFWN, FAA LID: FWN) is a small general aviation airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) southwest of Sussex in Wantage Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. It is just outside of Sussex Borough. This public-use airport is privately-owned by Sussex Airport, Inc.
The airport used to host the Sussex Airshow but the owner has stopped holding the shows while he tries to sell the airport. The township of Wantage is currently studying the feasibility of purchasing the airport.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned FWN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA. Facilities
Sussex Airport covers an area of 96 acres (39 ha) at an elevation of 421 feet (128 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 3/21 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,499 by 75 feet (1,066 x 23 m). For the 12-month period ending June 1, 2008, the airport had 19,257 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 52 per day. At that time there were 131 aircraft based at this airport: 95% single-engine and 5% multi-engine.
The airport does not have an Air traffic control (ATC), but instead uses a UNICOM where pilots talk on radios using a common frequency to coordinate runway and taxiway usage.

Controversies
In 2009, the airport's owner, Paul Styger, pleaded guilty to Federal charges of embezzlement. This stemmed from his misuse of $375,000 of grant money provided for airport improvements. He faces up to two years in prison. Wantage Township officials admittedly knew that Styger was under investigation for embezzlement, but were asked to keep silent by state and federal agencies in an attempt to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
