DescriptionA public-use airport located in unincorporated Travis County, 12 nmi (22 km) northeast of the central business district of Austin,[1] and immediately southeast of Pflugerville. It was known as Bird's Nest Airport (FAA: 6R4) prior to 2011. Austin Executive Airport opened in 2011 with funding from Ron Henriksen, who also operates Houston Executive Airport. It incorporates the former Bird's Nest Airport, which operated for about 40 years on 134 acres (0.54 km2), and adjacent property purchased for the expansion. A new 6,025-foot (1,836 m) runway was constructed and the original runway was shortened from 2,700 feet (820 m) to 1,550 feet (470 m).[3] In February 2013, the new Runway 13/31 was awarded the 2012 Ray Brown Airport Pavement Award by the National Asphalt Pavement Association, recognizing it as the highest quality airport asphalt pavement project in the country. Austin Executive Airport covers an area of 585 acres (237 ha) at an elevation of 620 feet (189 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 13/31 is 6,025 by 100 feet (1,836 x 30 m) and 16/34 is 1,550 by 25 feet (472 x 8 m). The above description has been prepared by IPACS forum user JetJockey10.
