William P. Hobby Airport




[1] Runway 4-22

Hobby currently has certified Category I approaches to several runways. Although Category I approaches are beneficial to overall airfield capacity, they do not allow aircraft to land at the airport during periods of very low visibility or inclement weather conditions. As a result, planning is underway to upgrade the Runway 4 instrument landing system to provide Category II/III approaches. The upgrade will require improvements to existing NAVAIDS and other equipment as well as the possible acquisition of additional property and/or modification of existing conditions to meet approach surface clearance requirements.

Project(s): 566 Runway 4/22 Rehab
Planned Completion: December, 2003

[2] New Central Concourse

Southwest Airlines' operations are currently split between Concourses A and C. As part of the capital improvements pro- gram, Concourses B and C will be demolished in phases and a new single 20-gate central concourse will be constructed for Southwest Airlines. The new central concourse will offer improved passenger amenities and services. In addition the existing terminal will be expanded and renovated to provide Southwest Airlines' passengers with improved access between the curbside and each gate.

Project(s): 417D Central Concourse
Planned Completion: October, 2002

[3] Taxiway Y and Z Relocation

Prior to the central concourse expansion, existing Taxiway Y and Z (south of the terminal building) will be relocated further south. The taxiway relocation will allow existing operations to continue with minor disruptions during construction, The taxilanes between the concourses are being designed to allow for future Boeing 757 service into Hobby.

Project(s): 417B Taxiway Expansion
Planned Completion: February, 2002
