Georgetown Executive Airport has two runways. The primary Runway 18/36 measures 5,004 feet by 100 feet, while Runway 11/29 measures 4,099 feet by 75 feet.
The primary runway supports many commonly chartered business aircraft. For longer flights or trips with greater passenger, baggage or fuel requirements, JetOptions determines whether GTU is suitable for the aircraft and route or whether another Austin-area airport is a better fit.
Cutter Aviation operates the full-service FBO at Georgetown Executive, providing aircraft handling and passenger services for private and charter flights. Ground transportation, rental vehicles and catering can be coordinated when needed.
JetOptions incorporates the appropriate ground and aircraft arrangements into the charter planning so clients can focus on their travel schedule and destination.
GTU’s strongest advantage is its location within Williamson County. Travelers headed to Georgetown can arrive within the same community, while Round Rock, Cedar Park and other northern Austin-area destinations are also accessible from the airport.
That location can be especially useful when the purpose of the trip is outside central Austin. Instead of treating every Central Texas charter as an Austin-Bergstrom trip, the airport can be selected around where the passenger actually needs to go.
Georgetown and the communities north of Austin have become important business destinations in their own right. Corporate offices, technology and manufacturing facilities, healthcare organizations and other employers across Williamson County bring travelers to Georgetown, Round Rock and the surrounding area throughout the year.
For those trips, GTU keeps the private flight on the northern side of the Austin metro and closer to many Williamson County destinations. The airport also serves personal and residential travel throughout the area.
GTU is particularly well positioned when the destination is Georgetown, Williamson County, Round Rock, Cedar Park or another community north of Austin. Its location and general aviation focus give private travelers an alternative to beginning or ending every Austin-area trip at the region’s primary commercial airport.
A different airport may fit better when the destination is central or southeast Austin, the trip requires on-airport Customs processing, or the aircraft and route call for additional runway length. JetOptions evaluates those factors as part of the charter rather than asking the client to choose the airport based on technical requirements.

Central Texas has several airports serving private aviation. Their locations make different airports useful for different parts of the Austin region.
Located near Pflugerville, Austin Executive serves North and Northeast Austin and is particularly useful for destinations along the SH 130 corridor.
Austin-Bergstrom serves Austin proper and is particularly useful when a trip involves scheduled airline connections, international arrivals, or destinations in central and southeast Austin.
San Marcos Regional serves San Marcos and the southern Austin corridor, providing a private aviation option for destinations south of Austin and along the Central Texas corridor toward San Antonio.
For a broader comparison of the airports serving the region, see the JetOptions Austin private jet charter guide.
Private charters to Georgetown can use light, midsize and other business aircraft depending on the route, passenger count and travel requirements. Longer flights may require additional consideration because GTU’s primary runway is 5,004 feet long.
JetOptions evaluates the flight before presenting suitable aircraft options. If another Austin-area airport is better suited to the aircraft or route, that can be incorporated into the trip while keeping the client’s ground destination in mind.
