William P. Hobby Airport becomes the first airport in North America to attain a five-star airport status in the Skytrax World Airport Star Rating for 2022.



The City of Houston now boasts the only five-star rated airport throughout the state of Texas and North America after William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) achieved a five-star airport status in the Skytrax World Airport Star Rating for 2022.


The Skytrax World Airport Star Rating is a global benchmark of quality evaluation for the aviation industry. Airports are rated between a one-star and five-star level following a detailed audit analysis of facilities and staff service to customers across all front-line areas of the airport environment.
“This is a well-deserved and unique distinction for the City of Houston and our airport system,” said Houston, Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Hobby Airport stands among the best in the world and this rating proves that being committed to first-class service is a tremendous benefit for Houston and the entire region.”
