Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KGTU?
Georgetown Executive Airport, KGTU, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 18/36 is the primary strip at 5,004 feet long and 100 feet wide. Runway 11/29 measures 4,099 feet long and 75 feet wide, offering a crosswind option. Both runways support the airport's business aviation traffic, which totaled 6,139 operations in 2025 according to FAA TFMSC data. Helicopter skid landings are prohibited on 18/36 due to its grooved surface.
Is fuel available at KGTU?
Yes, Georgetown Executive Airport stocks both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel, listed in the data as A1+. The field is towered and operates on an attendance schedule of 0700 to 1900 daily. Pilots planning arrivals outside those hours should account for reduced lighting intensity, since after tower hours the runway lights on 18/36 default to a low preset setting. Runway 11/29 lighting is controlled via CTAF rather than tower control. Georgetown Executive supports a mix of general and business aviation fueling needs during its published hours.
Does Georgetown Executive Airport have customs clearance onsite?
Georgetown Executive Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs facility is at KAUS, located approximately 29.08 nautical miles away. Flight crews arriving from international origins need to route their customs clearance through that airport rather than clearing directly at KGTU. Since Georgetown Executive is in the United States, any cross-border traffic figures for the field are tracked as FAA-observed activity rather than total field operations. Dispatchers should plan customs logistics accordingly when routing through this Texas airport.
Why is business aviation traffic higher at KGTU in October?
Business aviation traffic at Georgetown Executive Airport shows a clear seasonal peak, with October recording 697 operations, the highest monthly figure in the 2025 dataset. This compares to a low of 381 operations in February. The airport's annual business aviation total reached 6,139 operations out of 12,683 total annual operations. The data does not indicate a specific driver behind the October increase, but the concentration of traffic in that month stands out clearly against the more moderate volumes recorded through the rest of the year at KGTU.
What obstructions or wildlife hazards should pilots know about at KGTU?
Georgetown Executive Airport reports deer on and in the vicinity of the airport, a hazard pilots should watch for during approach and departure. There is also a close-in obstruction: an 8-foot fence located 199 feet from the runway and 246 feet to the left. Additionally, a portion of taxiway F is not visible from the tower, so pilots and ground crews should maintain careful communication in that area. These operational notes are relevant for crews unfamiliar with the field's layout at KGTU.
