William P. Hobby Airport, (IATA: HOU) hou.houstonairportsystem.org. Located 7 miles south of downtown and is located off of I-45 South. It is convenient if you're travelling downtown or south of the city, such as to Galveston. Its main carrier is Southwest Airlines, and it also served by Delta Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, and AirTran.

The smaller airports are:

Sugar Land Regional Airport, (IATA: SGR) www.flysgr.com. Located 25 miles southwest of downtown on TX 6, just north of U.S. 59. It is a popular choice among the well-heeled corporate aircraft set.
