George Bush Airport (formerly Houston Intercontinental Airport until 1997) is the most active airport in Houston, serving primary commercial aircraft both domestic and international. It was once primarily general aviation, serving many
charter flights to Houston. But it has since moved away from private aircraft and instead has become a focus city for multiple major airlines.
IAH has 5 runways, all of which are at least 9,000 feet, allowing all size aircraft to takeoff and land safely. Like many large commercial airports, there are art galleries, restaurants, and shopping areas inside the terminals.
Private Charters to IAH
IAH is served by two different FBOs, and has some low priced jet fuel which reduces operational costs. There are also two public lounges for those looking to relax before their flights.But there are many airports in Houston that serve both recreational and business jet travelers, so it may be worth looking beyond the IAH private charter and instead considering alternative routes, such as:
- David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport
- Sugar Land Regional Airport
- Lone Star Executive Airport
- Ellington Airport
- William P Hobby Airport
Although George Bush Airport is Houston’s main international airport, it is also located about 22 miles from downtown Houston, which can pose challenges for those in a hurry to reach their final destination.
