Airports

Wilmington International Airport (ILM) sits approximately 12 miles east of Leland, offering convenient access with a typical 22-minute drive via U.S. Route 17. The airport serves as a hub for Avelo Airlines, providing domestic flights to major cities such as Charlotte, Orlando, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.

Cars and driving

Leland benefits from excellent highway access via U.S. Route 17, the primary north-south corridor connecting the town to Wilmington, approximately 12 miles to the southeast. Interstate 140 serves as a Wilmington bypass and intersects with U.S. 17 near Leland, facilitating efficient regional travel. Commuters typically experience a 20-minute drive to downtown Wilmington during non-peak hours. North Carolina Highway 133 runs parallel to the Cape Fear River, providing additional routing options for residents throughout Brunswick County.

Pedestrians and bicycles

Leland has developed an expanding network of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure centered around its park system. Westgate Nature Park offers a 0.3-mile paved trail with an elevated boardwalk. The Old Fayetteville Road Multi-Use Path creates a nearly one-mile separated route connecting Founders Park to North Brunswick High School. The planned Leland Greenway will eventually link Westgate Nature Park to Brunswick Nature Park, creating additional car-free transportation options for daily errands and recreation.
