Sugar Land Regional Airport (IATA: SGR, ICAO: KSGR, FAA LID: SGR) is a city-owned public-use airport located in Sugar Land, Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, 17 miles (27 km) southwest of the central business district of Houston.
It was formerly known as Sugar Land Municipal Airport or Hull Field. The airport was purchased from a private interest in 1990 by the city of Sugar Land. It is the fourth-largest airport within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area and handles approximately 250 aircraft operations per day.
The airport today serves the area's general aviation (GA) aircraft serving corporate, governmental, and private clientele. A new 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m) Terminal opened in 2006 and a 60-acre (240,000 m) GA complex is currently under construction. The airport, the fourth largest airport in Greater Houston, receives yearly usage from over 100 Fortune 500 companies. TXP, Inc. released a report identifying the airport as "foremost general reliever airport in the southwest sector" and "a catalyst for corporate commerce in the Greater Houston market including the Westchase District, Uptown/Galleria, and Greenway Plaza."
The city of Houston maintains Cullinan Park that occupies 750 acres (3.0 km) of land directly north and west of the Sugar Land Regional Airport that is surrounded by Sugar Land homes, and there is a highway and rail road track directly south of the airport—all factors that block airport expansion. The Central Unit, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison for males, is in land zoned for airport expansion. HistoryDonald Hull, an oral surgeon that established a dental program for the Texas Department of Corrections in the early 1950s. Hull, who commuted across Southeast Texas to provide dental care to prisoners, originally operated aircraft to South Houston Airport and Sam Houston Airport. The City of Houston forced those airports to close. Hull decided to develop an airport that would not be closed. In 1952 Hull landed his biplane in a field near Sugar Land. Afterwards, with a loan from a friend, Hull purchased the field. In 1985 the airport saw service to Houston Intercontinental through Metro Airlines, operating as Eastern Airlines Express.
The City of Sugar Land purchased Hull Field on December 18, 1990 and renamed the airport "Sugar Land Municipal Airport." The City of Sugar Land opened an NFCT (non-federal control tower) that it funds and operates. This control tower manages traffic within 4 miles (6 km) of Sugar Land Airport from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. From the northern hemisphere summer of 1993 to early 1995, Sugar Land Regional Airport handled commercial passenger service during the mid-1990s for a now-defunct Texas carrier known as Conquest Airlines. Conquest offered commercial flights from the airport to Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. The airline closed after financial difficulties occurred. The airport received its current name in October 2002.
