David Wayne Hooks Airport, the privately owned business- and general-aviation field in northwest Houston, has completed the second phase of a capital improvement program. The 3,500-foot secondary runway was resurfaced and reconfigured to improve access to the taxiway and create a greater safety buffer. In addition, the terminal for Gill Aviation, the airport-owned FBO, one of two service providers on the airport, has a new roof, interior and exterior paint, new flooring and lighting, and more customer parking. The airport completed the improvements in time for next month’s Super Bowl at Houston's NRG Stadium.

As part of Phase One of the project, completed early last year, the airport resurfaced and repainted the primary 7,000-foot runway, regraded and repaved several taxiways, enlarged and strengthened the main ramp, upgraded exterior lighting around hangars and installed high-speed security gates.
