Frequently asked questions
Is there a control tower at Georgetown-Scott County Regional (27K)?
No, Georgetown-Scott County Regional is a non-towered airport. Traffic coordination on the field runs through the common traffic advisory frequency rather than a tower controller. Pilots handle sequencing and runway 03/21 usage through standard CTAF calls. For IFR clearance delivery, the airport directs pilots to contact Lexington Approach rather than a local tower. This non-towered setup is typical for a facility of this traffic volume.
What runway does 27K offer, and how long is it?
Georgetown-Scott County Regional has a single paved runway, designated 03/21, measuring 5,498 feet long and 100 feet wide. The surface is asphalt. This single strip handles all fixed-wing arrivals and departures at the field, including the business aviation traffic that makes up the bulk of recorded operations. There is no crosswind or parallel runway option at 27K, so wind conditions along the 03/21 axis are the primary operational consideration for pilots planning to use this airport.
What fuel is available at Georgetown-Scott County Regional (27K)?
Georgetown-Scott County Regional stocks both 100LL and Jet A (listed as A+), covering piston and turbine aircraft. According to the airport remarks, fuel is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with credit card payment accepted. This around-the-clock self-serve access distinguishes 27K from airports that limit fueling to staffed attendance hours. The broader field attendance schedule runs 0800-1900 Monday through Friday, 0800-1800 Saturday, and 0900-1700 Sunday, but fuel purchase is not tied to those hours.
Where is the nearest customs facility to 27K, and what is the process there?
Georgetown-Scott County Regional (27K) does not have onsite customs processing. The nearest customs airport is Lexington's Blue Grass Field (KLEX), located roughly 14.4 nautical miles away. Aircraft arriving from international origin points that need to clear customs must plan to land at KLEX or another customs-equipped airport before or in place of a stop at 27K. Dispatchers planning international itineraries through this area should build the customs stop into routing rather than assuming clearance is available at Georgetown.
When is business aviation traffic busiest at Georgetown-Scott County Regional?
Business aviation traffic at Georgetown-Scott County Regional, tracked by the FAA TFMSC for 2025, concentrates in the warmer months of the year. June recorded the highest monthly count at 241 operations, followed by October at 224 and August at 213. The slowest months were January and February, each under 120 operations. Out of 2,223 total business aviation operations recorded for the year, the airport shows a clear seasonal lift from spring through fall. This pattern is useful for dispatchers scheduling based on expected ramp and fuel demand at 27K.
