Less than 20 miles southwest of downtown Houston, Sugar Land is an exceptional city with an extraordinary quality of life. Founded as a sugar plantation in the mid 1800s, Sugar Land is located in Fort Bend County. Despite the City's rapid growth, Sugar Land has maintained its charm and is characterized by its scenic waterways, beautiful master-planned communities and acclaimed golf courses.
The Sugar Land Regional Airport , formerly known as “Hull Field”, has operated at the same location since 1952. The City purchased the airport in 1990 and has operated it as an enterprise fund since that time. Over $50 million has been invested in new infrastructure since that time, including an air traffic control tower, corporate aviation terminal, new taxiways and aprons, an advanced radar system, and an automated weather observation system. Construction is currently underway on a 92 T-hangar complex that will feature 100 T-hangars, an automated self-fueling facility, lounge and flight-planning facilities. The City remains committed to investing in the airport, and envisions continued growth and success.
