Based in Baltimore, Maryland, the Maryland Aviation Administration operates as the aviation arm of the state's Department of Transportation, guiding statewide aviation activity. It owns and runs two airports—the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Martin State Airport—serving as critical infrastructure for regional travel and economic activity. BWI is the Washington-Baltimore region's busiest airport and ranks among the busiest in the United States, reflecting its central role in regional air transportation. The Maryland aviation network under MAA supports substantial economic activity and employment; the BWI airport and its visitors together support more than 106,000 jobs in Maryland and the surrounding area, with a noted economic footprint of $9.3 billion in 2018. Martin State Airport, located in Middle River about 10 miles from downtown Baltimore, serves corporate and private aviation, flight training, recreational operations, maintenance, law enforcement, and Maryland Air National Guard activities. In 2025, Shannetta R. Griffin was appointed executive director and CEO of the Maryland Aviation Administration.
