Joint Base Andrews

Joint Base Andrews (KADW) is a large airport in Camp Springs, MD. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KADW or IATA code ADW. It sits in North America.

Joint Base Andrews is a large airport handling general aviation, corporate, and charter traffic. The long runway and full instrument infrastructure typically support unrestricted ops for heavy and ultra-long-range jets.

The longest runway measures 11,301 ft (3,445 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Joint Base Andrews sits near sea level at 280 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for KADW updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

For high-volume bizjet markets like Camp Springs, KADW is typically the default for international arrivals and large-cabin departures, with quieter satellite fields nearby that operators use to avoid peak-weekend congestion.
