Blair Exec Airport sits in Blair, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,317.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 4,201 ft long. There is no control tower.

No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity lighting. PAPI is installed on both runway ends. Runway end identifier lights are installed on runway 31 and operate on CTAF. Glider activity occurs on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on departure.

SkyWerx Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Twenty-four hour self-serve 100LL is available with a credit card. For service, call the FBO at (402) 533-2247. For noise abatement procedures, contact the airport manager at 402-426-4191. Omaha Approach handles clearance delivery, so plan ahead if you need IFR services. The airport has been surveyed. The field was established before 1959, so expect a mature airport layout rather than a simple grass strip.
