The municipally managed Bartow Airport Authority operates self-sufficiently as the primary fixed based operator for the airfield and the operator of its renown flight school. There are three active runways on the airfield, overseen by a control tower on the airfield that’s completely privatized with fully licensed and certified air traffic controllers who are airport employees under the Airport Authority. The General Aviation Terminal houses the Bartow Airport Authority, Bartow Flying Service, Runways at Bartow restaurant, and the Bartow Air Base Historical Museum.
