New name for old Airport

The Houston City Council has approved changing the name of Ellington Field to Ellington Airport, according to the Houston Airport System.
The name change is intended to help grow the airport as a “greater economic generator,” HAS said.
“We’ve known for some time that our runways at Ellington are primed to serve as a reliever airport for both Hobby and Bush Intercontinental,” Houston Airport System director Rick Vacar said in a statement. “The name change will enhance our efforts to market this aviation asset to general aviation and commercial developers who want to operate at an airport with unlimited possibilities.”
Ellington Airport, located on the southeast side of Houston, currently has three active runways, a 24-hour Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Control Tower and two fixed based operators.
The airport also has more than 300 acres available for development, Vacar said.
Existing tenants have the option of continuing to use the Ellington Field name. For more information see : www.houstonrealtyadvisors,com or www,houstonrealtyadvisors,net
