Private Jet to Houston, TX - Airports, Routes & Prices

Charter a private jet to Houston with Travel King International and arrive directly in the “Energy Capital of the World.” Houston is a sprawling metropolis where oil tycoons, medical pioneers, and aerospace giants converge. Whether you are inspecting assets in the Energy Corridor, seeking world-class treatment at the Texas Medical Center, or attending a gala in River Oaks, our local logistics ensure you navigate this massive city with precision and speed.

While commercial flights into George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) can mean hour-long taxi times and endless freeway commutes, Travel King International clients have the advantage. We optimize your arrival by utilizing William P. Hobby (HOU) or Sugar Land Regional (SGR), placing you significantly closer to your final destination. Our downtown headquarters at 609 Main Street gives us the “home field advantage.” We understand Houston’s unique rhythm—from the urgency of the rodeo season to the specific needs of oil and gas executives requiring rapid deployment.

• William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) – The Executive Hub.
  Located just 7 miles from downtown, HOU is the premier choice for private aviation in Houston. With multiple top-tier FBOs (including Million Air and Signature), it offers the quickest access to the Central Business District and the Toyota Center.
• Sugar Land Regional Airport (SGR) – The Energy Corridor Gateway.
  For clients doing business in Sugar Land or the Energy Corridor, SGR is unbeatable. It is a dedicated corporate aviation facility known for its “red carpet” service and ability to handle Global Express and Gulfstream aircraft with ease.
• Ellington Airport (EFD) – The Aerospace Choice.
  Situated near NASA’s Johnson Space Center and the port, Ellington is ideal for aerospace clients and those heading to the southeast side of the metro area. It is less congested and highly secure.
• George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) – The Northern Connector.
  While primarily a commercial heavy-hitter, IAH is necessary for clients heading to The Woodlands or connecting to international commercial flights. The private FBOs here are isolated from the main terminals to ensure privacy.

The cost to charter a private jet to Houston is determined by flight distance and aircraft category. A short “Oil Route” hop from Midland/Odessa to Houston typically costs between $6,500 and $8,500 on a Light Jet, catering to energy executives needing same-day returns.

For cross-country business trips, such as New York (Teterboro) to Houston, a Midsize or Super Midsize jet is standard. Prices for this 3.5 to 4-hour flight generally range from $22,000 to $28,000. These aircraft provide the range to fly non-stop regardless of headwinds.

International connections, particularly from Mexico City (Toluca), are frequent. A Light Jet for this 2-hour flight averages $12,000 to $15,000. Below are the estimated market rates for 2025/2026.

Embraer Legacy 600: A favorite among Houston’s oil and gas executives. The Legacy 600 offers a massive 3-zone cabin, huge luggage capacity (accessible during flight), and the range to reach South America or Europe with fuel stops. It delivers heavy jet comfort at a super-midsize price point.

Citation CJ3+: The perfect tool for Texas regional travel. Whether you are flying to a ranch in West Texas or a meeting in Dallas, the CJ3+ is fast, economical, and capable of landing on shorter runways that larger jets cannot access.
