Houston Executive Airport (TME)
West-side corporate GA field with the longest private-airport runway in the region — the preferred Houston alternative to Hobby for business jets.
About Houston Executive Airport
Houston Executive opened in 2008 as a privately-developed corporate general aviation airport, 30 miles west of downtown. The 6,610-foot runway handles everything up to large-cabin business jets (Falcon 7X, Global 7500, G650). Fuel services, 24/7 operations, modern hangar inventory, and no commercial airline traffic make this the preferred field for corporate flight departments wanting to avoid Hobby congestion.

Common questions about Houston Executive Airport
Why would a flight department choose Houston Executive over Hobby?+
No commercial traffic (fewer delays), modern purpose-built hangars, 24/7 operations, closer to Energy Corridor / Katy / Fulshear corporate HQs, and lower fuel + ramp fees than Hobby. The tradeoff is a longer drive to downtown or the Medical Center for East-side executives.
What size aircraft can operate at Houston Executive?+
Up to and including large-cabin business jets. The 6,610-foot runway handles Falcon 7X, Gulfstream G650/G700, and Global 7500 in standard conditions. Ultra-long-range departures to Europe or Asia may need weight planning in summer heat; the airport is unrestricted for normal corporate operations.
Is there hangar space available for lease at Houston Executive?+
Yes, with meaningful development ongoing. The airport continues to add hangar inventory in the 10,000-30,000 SF range for corporate tenants, plus T-hangars for owner-flown singles and light twins. Lead time varies with runway-door-size specifics; call for current availability.
