Private Jet Airports in Austin
Choosing an airfield here
What drives the choice in this area: where the traffic goes, where you can clear, and what you can land.
Overview
17 airfields serve Austin. Austin-Bergstrom International (KAUS) handles the most business aviation traffic, with 60% of the area's business jet movements , followed by Austin Executive and Georgetown Executive . The area stretches across the Texas Hill Country north and west of Austin, reaching from Georgetown and Taylor down to New Braunfels and out to Horseshoe Bay and Burnet. Terrain rises toward the west, where Burnet Municipal/Kate Craddock Field sits at 1,283 feet, well above the lower fields near the Colorado River. Most of the seventeen airfields sit within 40 NM of the area center, keeping the bulk of the fields on the tighter side despite the geographic spread. Customs clearance is concentrated at a single field in the east, so routing decisions for international arrivals start there before any onward repositioning.

Frequently asked questions
Where does customs clearance happen for business jets arriving in the Austin area?
Austin-Bergstrom International (KAUS) is the only field in the area with CBP inspection services onsite, backed by a USDA compliance agreement. None of the other fourteen public airports in the area carry a customs designation. For any international arrival, KAUS is the fixed point in the routing regardless of where the aircraft ultimately parks or picks up passengers. Operators clearing customs elsewhere in the area first should plan the onward leg from KAUS as a separate domestic repositioning, since no other field in the area offers an inspection option.
Which airport in the Austin area has the longest runway, and how does it compare to the secondary jet airports?
Austin-Bergstrom International (KAUS) has the longest runway in the area at 12,250 feet, part of the four fields with runways of 6,000 ft or more. Austin Executive (KEDC) offers 6,025 feet and New Braunfels National (KBAZ) offers 6,503 feet, both towered fields with Jet A available. San Marcos Regional (KHYI) rounds out the group at 6,330 feet. For operators running larger cabin aircraft with runway-limited performance, KAUS stands apart from the rest of the field, while the three secondary long-runway airports sit closer together in usable length.
How much business jet traffic moves through the Austin area outside of KAUS?
Austin-Bergstrom International (KAUS) recorded 51,068 business jet movements in 2025 against 85,064 for the whole area, leaving roughly 34,000 movements spread across the remaining sixteen fields. Austin Executive (KEDC) carried 11,935 and Georgetown Executive (KGTU) carried 6,139, together accounting for most of the secondary volume. The remaining airports, including New Braunfels National (KBAZ) and San Marcos Regional (KHYI), each handled traffic in the low thousands or less. Dispatchers weighing overflow options should look first at KEDC and KGTU, since traffic beyond those two drops off sharply across the rest of the area.
How does seasonal traffic vary across the Austin area over the year?
Business jet movements in the Austin area peaked at 8,873 in October 2025 and bottomed out at 6,168 in July, against a monthly average of 7,089. Six months of the year run above that average, with October and November as the strongest stretch and a secondary rise in March through May. July and August sit at the low end of the annual cycle. This spread matters for scheduling ramp and handling capacity at the busier fields, since the gap between the slowest and busiest month runs close to 2,700 movements area-wide.
How far apart are Austin-Bergstrom and the other towered jet airports in the area?
Austin-Bergstrom International (KAUS) sits 13 NM from Austin Executive (KEDC) and 35 NM from New Braunfels National (KBAZ), based on field-to-field distance. Austin Executive is itself 18 NM from Georgetown Executive (KGTU), placing the three northern fields within a fairly tight cluster. New Braunfels National sits further out to the south, with a 48 NM gap to KEDC. For operators splitting arrivals and repositioning legs across multiple fields, the KAUS-KEDC-KGTU grouping stays close together, while KBAZ requires a longer repositioning leg from any of the other three.
