Air Traffic Control

The Georgetown Executive Airport at Johnny Gantt Field (KGTU) is a towered reliever general aviation airport supporting the flying public in central Texas. We are open 24/7 to all flight activity. During the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, all flight operations will be under control of the tower.

Operations outside the Tower Hours are to be conducted using the Fly Friendly Program. We would like to remind all pilots that we are in a Noise Sensitive

Area and would ask that they take that into consideration when operating from Georgetown Executive Airport.

Tower frequency is 120.225
Ground is 119.125
ATIS is 118.6

Before any pedestrian, vehicle, or aircraft is allowed to enter the aircraft movement area (areas are designated on the map here), the GTU Ground must be contacted for permission.

Any vehicle that seeks access to an Aircraft Movement Area must be equipped with a flashing yellow light and an Air Band Transceiver tuned to GTU Ground.

Non-Movement Areas – aprons, helipads, aircraft parking areas, and taxi lanes not under the control of the control tower.

Automated Terminal Information System – ATIS

During the Tower operating hours, pilots will hear the Tower ATIS broadcast. During the hours the Tower is NOT operating the standard AWOS weather broadcast will be transmitted on 118.600

The standard AWOS weather announcement available by telephone at 512-869-3430 will remain the same 24/7.

If you wish to contact the operations personnel for the airport tower, please email gtu@rvainc.com.

Courtesy Cars

The Georgetown Executive Airport at Johnny Gantt Field has two courtesy cars available for the use of visitors that fly into the airport and require ground transportation into the city of Georgetown. The primary purpose of the courtesy cars is to provide free, complimentary transportation within Williamson County, for a short period of time, to airport visitors for business or pleasure. There is no charge for up to three hours of use.

The cars are available from 7 a.m. until the Terminal closes at 7 p.m., seven days per week. A valid driver’s license is required.

We provide fuel for courtesy vehicles and do not require that you put fuel in them.
