Airport Information

The Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB) met on March 11, 2016 and reviewed the status and progress of the airport.

Almost 8,000(7977) take offs and landings were recorded in January, 2016, with 156 of those being at night.

For the first four months of the fiscal year, October 1 through January 31, total take offs and landings increased by 3,479 compared to the similar period the previous fiscal year. Folks, that is a 15.4% increase in one year!

Total fuel sales increased for January 2016 compared with January 2015 by 14,777 gallons. That was an increase in fuel sales of 24% and the new high capacity fuel tanks have yet to be installed!

Finally, it was reported that proceeds from $870,000 in bonds, that had been approved and sold the previous fiscal year, were transferred to TxDOT. This is the city's share of the $8.3 Million dollar project to relocate and increase the fuel storage tanks by 60%.

The city is well on it's way to increasing the capacity of Georgetown airport.
