Southwest Airlines to Construct 240,000‑Square‑Foot Maintenance Hangar at Houston’s Hobby Airport

Southwest Airlines to Construct 240,000‑Square‑Foot Maintenance Hangar at Houston’s Hobby AirportSouthwest Airlines has announced plans to build a state‑of‑the‑art, 240,000‑square‑foot maintenance facility at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston. The new two‑bay hangar will accommodate up to six Boeing 737 aircraft, complete with paved parking, dedicated wash stations, taxiway access, and loading docks.

The hybrid pre‑engineered metal building will feature 140,000 square feet dedicated to aircraft bays, leaving 100,000 square feet for offices, parts storage, and other support functions.

Outside the hangar, 450,000 square feet of apron will be paved, with a wash rack already installed and space earmarked for two additional racks. A 630‑foot taxiway will link the apron to Taxiway K, streamlining aircraft movement.

The project is part of a six‑phase program that includes a new duct bank for Houston Airport System and FAA communications, demolition of obsolete structures, relocation of the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), relocation of two navigation aids, construction of a detention pond for flood control, and finally the hangar itself. Pre‑construction began in October 2017, with the hangar slated to start in spring 2018.
