George Downer Airport (AIV)

George Downer Airport (AIV) is a small public‑use general aviation field serving Aliceville, Alabama. A single terminal/FBO building fronts the main apron and houses the lobby, pilot lounge, and operations desk for fuel and ground handling. There is no scheduled airline service.

The layout is compact. Parking is adjacent to the building, with a 1–2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to aircraft stands is a short, escorted walk across the ramp—typically 1–2 minutes. There are no buses or people‑movers; movements are ground‑level.

There is no TSA checkpoint and no on‑site immigration/customs. Security practices follow GA norms, including access‑controlled doors and ramp escort for visitors.

Amenities include restrooms, seating, Wi‑Fi when available, and vending/coffee depending on staffing. Fuel (AvGas/Jet‑A) and basic ground support are provided through the FBO. Rental cars or courtesy transport may be available with advance notice; rideshare coverage can be limited.

Accessibility is step‑free between parking and the terminal with accessible restrooms. Family facilities are limited—bring baby supplies and snacks as retail options are minimal on site.
