About Bartow Executive Airport
Bartow Executive Airport is a public general aviation airport located about four miles northeast of downtown Bartow in Polk County, Florida. The airfield has roots as a former military air base and was renamed from Bartow Municipal Airport and Industrial Park to Bartow Executive Airport in 2019.
The airport serves private, business and recreational aviation and supports services such as medical air transport and law enforcement operations. It is not a commercial airline hub, but its three-runway layout includes parallel runways 9L/27R and 9R/27L plus crosswind runway 5/23, with the longest runway measuring 5,000 feet.
The general aviation terminal building provides passenger facilities, dining and the Bartow Air Base Historical Museum, while the fixed-base operator offers fuel, flight planning, aircraft support and crew amenities.
Bartow Executive Airport sits within a short drive of downtown Bartow and is well placed for the Lakeland–Winter Haven area and the broader I-4 corridor. Travelers typically continue by rental car, taxi, rideshare or pre-arranged private transfer to Bartow, Lakeland, Winter Haven and nearby Central Florida destinations.
