It is just outside Sussex Borough. This public-use airport is privately owned by Sussex Aviation LLC[1] which purchased it in 2015.[3] The airport used to host the Sussex Airshow but the previous owner had stopped holding the shows (as of 2009) while he tried to sell the airport. The township of Wantage was studying the feasibility of purchasing the airport at that time.[2] 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.[3] FacilitiesSussex Airport covers an area of {{convert|96|acre|ha|lk=on}} 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 30, 2018, the airport had 21,160 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 58 per day. At that time there were 73 aircraft based at this airport: 86% single-engine, 10% multi-engine, and 4% ultra-light.[1] 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.

Embezzlement of federal funds by a former airport ownerIn 2009, the airport's owner, Paul Styger, pleaded guilty to federal charges of embezzlement. This stemmed from his misuse of $378,000 of grant money provided for airport improvements.[4] He faced up to two years in prison.[5][6] He was eventually convicted, and was ordered to repay the money and was put on probation without getting any prison sentence.[4] 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.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{FAA-airport|ID=FWN|use=PU|own=PR|site=14344.*A}}.
