In central Texas among the foothills of Texas Hill Country lies the state capital of Austin. It is surrounded by many natural attractions such as the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake providing this city with a beautiful backdrop year-round. Austin is known as “The Live Music Capital of the World” because of the many music venues it houses and the strong influence presence of blues country and rock music. While these attractions bring in thousands of visitors from around the country, the city also thrives off its rapidly growing technology industry. In the 1990’s Austin adopted the nickname “Silicon Hills” when an influx of major technology companies began to place their corporate offices here such as Apple, Google and eBay.

With its booming businesses and tourism, Austin has just one major airport with a couple of smaller airports to accommodate private chartered jets and helicopters. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is the biggest facility for public and commercial use. It is located just 5 miles southeast of downtown Austin and has operates over 150 daily departures to 48 different destinations.

Austin Executive is a smaller, public-use airport located about 12 miles northeast of Austin’s business district. It is a popular option for corporate aircrafts because they provide amenities and services that keep business travelers in mind. Another small airport that serves the Austin area is Dyden Airport, a privately owned airport that remains popular amongst tourists. The airport has helicopter tours that can be booked from here taking you all over the the downtown area of Austin as well as all over Hill Country. Although these airports are a bit more exclusive, those who have traveled from them claim that the prices and services are unbeatable.
