Houston, Texas
West Houston Airport is a privately owned, public-use facility located 15 miles west of downtown Houston in the Energy Corridor. Established in 1962 as Lakeside Airport, it has grown to become one of the premier general aviation hubs in the United States.
The airport features a 3,953-foot paved runway and a two-story terminal building equipped with conference rooms and flight planning facilities. It offers comprehensive services including aircraft rental, maintenance, and 24-hour fueling operations.
Serving as a major hub for corporate and recreational pilots, the airport is known for its "easy in, easy out" accessibility. It supports a wide range of aviation activities, from business travel to flight training and community events.
As one of the "Most Needed Airports" in America, West Houston provides a critical alternative to major commercial hubs like IAH and Hobby. Its location near major business centers makes it a preferred choice for the city's energy industry executives and private aviators.
