Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KEDC?
Austin Executive Airport, KEDC, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 13/31 is the primary runway at 6,025 feet long and 100 feet wide, supporting business jet traffic. Runway 16/34 is a much shorter and narrower strip at 1,550 feet long and 25 feet wide. The airfield is towered, with attendance reported around the clock. Dispatchers planning larger aircraft should default to Runway 13/31 given the size difference between the two.
Is customs available on-site at KEDC?
Austin Executive Airport does not have customs service on-site, according to the airport data. The nearest customs facility is at KAUS, located 13.31 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from international origins need to plan a stop or prior arrangement at KAUS or another customs airport of entry before continuing to KEDC. This distance is short enough to fit easily into a standard arrival routing for Austin-area traffic.
What fuel types are available at Austin Executive?
Austin Executive, KEDC, offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A, with the Jet A listed under the A+ designation. This dual availability supports both piston and turbine business aircraft operating through the field. Fuel service aligns with the airport's attendance schedule, which is reported as continuous. Crews should still confirm fuel availability directly ahead of arrival, as attendance schedules can shift with staffing.
How busy is KEDC and when is traffic highest?
KEDC recorded 14,582 total annual operations in FAA TFMSC data for 2025, with 11,935 of those attributed to business aviation. Traffic at Austin Executive Airport is concentrated in the fall months, with October and November each posting business aviation operations above 1,290, well ahead of the summer months. July was the lowest month recorded, at 829 business aviation operations. Dispatchers scheduling fall trips into the Austin area should expect the airport at its busiest during this period.
What obstacles or terrain features should crews know about at KEDC?
Austin Executive Airport has a close-in obstruction consisting of a 10-foot tree located 100 feet from the runway and 50 feet to the right, per airport remarks. The approach slope to the displaced threshold is 23:1. Separately, the northwest end of Runway 13/31 and Taxiway A has a 16-foot drop-off at the end of pavement, a feature crews should account for during taxi and low-visibility operations. Runway 13/31 taxiway edges are marked by reflector posts rather than standard lighting in some areas.
