Linden Airport (IATA: LDJ, ICAO: KLDJ), also known as Linden Municipal Airport, is a small general aviation airport located along US 1&9 in the city of Linden in Union County, New Jersey, southwest of New York City.
[edit] History
During World War II, a now closed General Motors factory, whose building remains across the street from the airport, produced military aircraft. The airport was built to allow testing and transportation of these aircraft. Since 2003, the majority of the airport has been replaced with a shopping center named Aviation Plaza. The airport retains its main building, hangars, and runway 9/27.
