Airport guide
West Houston Airport (KIWS) is a small airport in Houston, TX. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KIWS or IATA code IWS. It sits in North America.
West Houston Airport serves general aviation operators in its area.
The longest runway measures 3,953 ft (1,205 m), a constrained-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the King Air, PC-12, and other short-field turboprops. In practice this restricts most jet operations; turboprops and short-field specialists only.
West Houston Airport sits near sea level at 111 ft.
Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess currently tracks 7 departing and 7 arriving private-jet legs at KIWS across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 2 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
