==General Information==
'''Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)''' is a joint civil-military airport 10 miles northwest of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The facility is operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which performs select management functions. Most of the land is owned by the Federal Aviation Administration and leased to the SJTA, while the SJTA owns the terminal building.
