The "Hondo Advantage"
It's not just an airport. It's a tactical advantage.
- Stop Paying to Wait: The average city airport taxi delay is 20 minutes. That burns over $2,000 of your budget just sitting on the ground. At Hondo, we are wheels-up in 5 minutes.
- We Don't Cancel for Wind: With 5 massive runways, we can always find a headwind if you're new, or a challenging crosswind if you're ready. While others are cancelling, we are flying.
- Safety in Space: Hondo is huge and surrounded by open fields. In the unlikely event of an emergency, you have options everywhere. It is the safest training environment in South Texas.
- High Quality FBO: Enjoy a high-quality FBO with clean showers and amenities to freshen up after a hot summer flight. It’s professional comfort when you need it most.
