Forty-five miles northeast of Atlanta. A 5,505-foot ILS-equipped runway that handles aircraft up to a Gulfstream V. One dedicated chauffeur, waiting at the FBO when you land.
Barrow County Airport has served northeast Georgia since 1948. What began as a rural airstrip now operates 50,000 annual flight movements across two asphalt runways, with 115 based aircraft and five corporate hangars anchoring the field. The airport sits on 374 acres just outside Atlanta's Class B airspace — a meaningful distinction for operators who prefer a direct arrival over the sequencing delays common at busier metro fields.
For corporate travelers, the calculus is straightforward. WDR places you 20 minutes from the University of Georgia in Athens, 15 minutes from Chateau Elan Winery & Resort in Braselton, and within an hour of Downtown Atlanta — all without the congestion of Hartsfield-Jackson or the general aviation traffic at DeKalb-Peachtree. Your Sprinter and chauffeur are waiting at Romanair when you arrive.
Primary runway with ILS — Gulfstream V capable
Based aircraft — 86 single-engine, 19 multi-engine, 2 jet
Annual operations — 90% general aviation, 10% military
WDR operates two runways. The primary, Runway 13/31, stretches 5,505 feet with high-intensity edge lighting, a Medium Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR), and a full ILS/DME on Runway 31. Four RNAV (GPS) approaches serve both runways. Precision markings and a four-light PAPI on each end ensure consistent operations in instrument conditions.
The secondary runway, 05/23, provides 3,607 feet of asphalt with medium-intensity edge lighting — well suited for single-engine and light twin traffic.
On the ground, the airport offers five corporate hangars, 44 T-hangars, 27 tiedown positions, and a terminal building with a pilot's lounge and flight planning area. AWOS-3 weather is broadcast on 118.575 and available by phone at (770) 868-0642.
