| Who Owns The Houston Airport System |
The City That Owns the Sky
Believe it or not, the City of Houston is the proud owner and operator of its airport system. That's right, the same folks who deal with potholes, traffic lights, and the occasional stray cow are also in charge of getting millions of people in and out of the city every year. Talk about multitasking!
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The system includes three major airports:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH): This is the big daddy of Houston airports, handling most of the international traffic. It's like the Times Square of airports, always bustling with activity.
- William P. Hobby Airport (HOU): This one is more like the laid-back cousin of IAH. It's smaller and generally less crowded, perfect for those who prefer a quieter travel experience.
- Ellington Airport (EFD): This is the quirky uncle of the family, primarily used for general aviation, military, and space-related activities. It's got a bit of a cool factor, let's be honest.
The Real MVPs: The Employees
While the city owns the airports, it's the dedicated employees who make the magic happen. From the TSA agents who keep us safe to the pilots who get us there in one piece, these folks deserve all the credit. Let's not forget about the baggage handlers – those unsung heroes who reunite us with our lost luggage (hopefully).
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Houston: A City That Knows How to Fly
So, next time you're soaring through the friendly skies above Houston, take a moment to appreciate the city that made it all possible. And remember, if you ever get lost in the airport, just look for the nearest friendly employee. They’ll be happy to point you in the right direction (or at least pretend to).
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
