Flying into Houston Hobby Airport (KHOU) pilots have their fair choice of FBOs. Wilson Air Center – Houston makes that choice easy for their customers. The hotel-style concierge greeting passengers immediately upon arrival, attentive Line Service from landing to takeoff, and the southern hospitality wins over customers time and time again. And now, Wilson Air Center – Houston offers a beautiful terminal that is finally worthy of the award-winning level of service that has been hard at work for years. The newly unveiled terminal is a spacious 7,200 sq. ft. lobby featuring modern Western décor that is the perfect welcome to Houston, Texas.
Wilson Air Center – Houston has been providing outstanding service for years, and has the awards to prove it. Now the FBO finally has a physical facility to match the outstanding level of service and hospitality it has been providing for years. The new terminal entirely reconfigured previous offices and support structures to create an unrecognizable lobby and entrance for passengers and pilots. The new terminal is a large upgrade from the 1,750 sq. ft. lobby passengers have previously been familiar with. Featuring 18 ft. high ceilings and festive cowhide rugs and Texas longhorn artwork beautifully furnishing the area, the new lobby is appropriately nick-named the Wilson Air Center Houston “Corral.” Customers are invited to gather and feel at home, whether they are embracing their inner cowboy with a rest on Wilson Air Center’s custom-made saddle seats or conducting business in the sleek VIP Conference room overlooking the aircraft during their time in Houston. The Wilson Air Center Houston “Corral” offers a perfect Texas-sized welcome to Houston Hobby Airport.<img alt data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="634f1ba2-b24a-4f8c-bcaa-a1daeda1812a" src="/sites/default/files/wilson_img-3a.jpg" width="2500" height="1250" loading="lazy">
The newly finished terminal includes a VIP Conference Room that seats 10, Flight Planning Room, Pilot Lounge, ample seating that looks directly onto the ramp, and a fully stocked refreshment bar and high-top table area complete with southern sweet tea and Blue Bell ice-cream year-round, a local and personal favorite of Bob Wilson. The lobby also features a natural root console table that displays its beautifully intertwined Chamba Wood and has easily become a focal point for all who enter the terminal. Pilots and customers are invited to&nbsp; try and see what animal faces they can find in the Chamba Wood design. Regional Customer Service Mary Kay says, “The Root Bar is one of my favorites pieces, because I see a new animal in it every time I look.”
Wilson Air Center – Houston has 100,000 sq. ft. of hangar space, 20,000 sq. ft. office space, can handle up to a B767-300 on their expansive ramp, and currently offers a complete range of FBO services. The old lobby will be upgraded and re-imagined as a Charter Terminal and VIP Lobby. Available for service 24/7, 365 days a year, Wilson Air Center - Houston is located on the less congested south end of the field, with easy in and easy out direct from runway 13R, is the only FBO adjacent to US Customs Service, and is prepared for any need that may arise during their customers’ stay.&nbsp;<img alt data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="efcd3c96-b504-4950-ae25-e5b5e8b5c293" src="/sites/default/files/wilsonair_img-5a.jpg" width="2500" height="1250" loading="lazy">

Wilson Air Center – Houston aims to continue growing their exceptional amenities, while still providing the same personalized service to meet the needs of all their customers.
