Airport Overview & History
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (ICAO: KIAH, FAA: IAH) is Houston's primary international airport. IAH handles over 500,000 operations annually. For official FAA data, visit the FAA Airport Data portal or AirNav IAH.
IAH is preferred over HOU for international private jet arrivals and for passengers heading to The Woodlands, Spring, and north Houston. Five runways (two at 12,001 feet) provide enormous capacity. Landing fees are higher than HOU, and airline traffic creates more complexity. Most Houston-based private jet operators choose HOU, SGR, or DWH for domestic operations.
ExxonMobil's campus in Spring (10 miles) drives significant IAH corporate traffic.
