Austin Executive Airport is a public-use airport located 12nmi northeast of the central business district of Austin, a city in Travis County, Texas, United States. It is situated in unincorporated Manor, west of Elgin, and was formerly known as Bird's Nest Airport (FAA: 6R4).Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned EDC by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.HistoryAustin 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 134acre, and adjacent property purchased for the expansion. A new 6,025ft runway was constructed and the original runway was shortened from 2,700ft to 1,550ft. 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.A different airport with a similar name was the Austin Executive Airpark (FAA: 3R3), located near Parmer Lane and Interstate 35. Previously named Tim's Airpark in the 1960s and 1970s, it was permanently closed on May 1, 1999.
