Houston Bush International Airport

To bring air service to Houston's population of more than four million, the Houston Airport System has three facilities; George Bush Intercontinental Airport, William P. Hobby Airport, and Ellington Field.

Together they form one of North America's largest public airport systems and position Houston as the international gateway to the south central United States.

In 1937, as Houston began its ascent to become the energy capital of the world, the city acquired the site of its first major airport, William P. Hobby Airport. As Houston continued to grow so did the Houston Airport System, by adding new airports - George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston in 1969, and Ellington Field in 1984, and expanding and tailoring services to fulfill a wide range of customer needs.

With airports covering up to 8,000 acres, no customer is too small or too big for the Houston Airport System.

The airfields handle aircraft as large as the Antonov 124 on runways that extend up to 12,000 feet, and we will be able to accommodate any aircraft produced for commercial use far into the foreseeable future.
