William P. Hobby (HOU) is Houston’s preferred private-jet airport — just seven miles from downtown and close to the Texas Medical Center, making it the fastest in and out for most trips.

Why flyers choose Hobby

Hobby handles significant private and business-jet traffic with multiple full-service FBOs, quick ramp access, and none of the commercial congestion of Intercontinental. It’s the default for downtown meetings, Med Center visits, and events.

FBOs at HOU

Hobby has one of the deepest FBO line-ups in Texas, so you can choose on service, fuel, and hangar availability. Your operator will typically stage from whichever FBO best fits catering, ground transport, and timing.
