Location
Hagerstown, United States

It sits approximately three miles north of downtown Hagerstown and serves the Tri-State region encompassing Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The airport has historically supported scheduled commercial service, though its commercial passenger operations have fluctuated over the years. Richard A.

Gateway to Maryland's mountain crossroads where history meets the sky

Hagerstown Regional Richard A Henson Field, named after regional aviation pioneer Richard A. Henson, has served western Maryland's Washington County for decades as a small but vital community airport. Situated in the Appalachian foothills, it supports general aviation, charter operations, and limited commercial service connecting the Hagerstown area to broader air networks. The airport reflects the legacy of Henson Airlines, which once brought scheduled regional air service to this historically significant Civil War corridor.

The nearby US Route 40 and downtown Hagerstown corridors offer broader food choices.

Traveller Tips
  • Arrive at least 60–90 minutes before departure as staffing and check-in processes move at a community airport pace.
  • Confirm your flight status directly with the airline or charter operator, as schedules at small regional airports can shift.
  • Rent a car if possible — public transit connections from the airport are limited and ride availability may be inconsistent.
  • Hagerstown is close to Civil War sites like Antietam; consider building extra time into your trip to explore the region.
