Shelby County Airport (airport codes EET/KEET) is a public airport located on a 125-acre site parallel to I-65 approximately 4 miles southeast of Alabaster in Shelby County. The airport's lone runway (designated by headings 15/33) is 5,000 feet long by 75 feet wide, surfaced with asphalt.

Shelby Air is the airport's full-service fixed base operator (FBO).

In February 2005, Senator Richard Shelby announced $547,000 in funding from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program for runway improvements at Shelby County Airport, including the runway's extension from 4,411 to 5,000 feet.

In September 2006, a fatal airplane crash claimed three lives during the Birmingham Aero Club's Wings and Wheels Air Show.
