About Ellington Airport

Ellington Airport, officially part of the Houston Spaceport, sits on about 2,200 acres of which 228 acres are dedicated to military and NASA use. Located at 11900 Galveston Rd, Houston, TX 77034, it serves General Aviation, NASA programs, and military tenants. The airport is known for hosting events like the Wings Over Houston Airshow and for housing NASA’s WB-57 program. Whether you’re attending a show, a spaceflight-related event, or a community gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your trip.

We’ll walk you through parking and transportation options, seating and viewing considerations for events, and nearby hotels and dining choices to fit your plans. Think of us as your insider connection for a smooth, stress-free visit to Ellington.

Venue basics: Ellington Airport is a joint civilian and military airport operated by the City of Houston’s Houston Spaceport. It features three concrete runways: 4/22 at 8,001 ft, 17R/35L at 9,001 ft, and 17L/35R at 4,609 ft. The site supports a range of missions and tenants, including NASA programs, with Wings Over Houston as a notable event hosted on the grounds.

Parking & transit: Onsite parking is typically provided by the airport’s tenants. For large events, parking is limited and shuttle services are common (such as during Wings Over Houston). Regular public transit options to Ellington are limited, so plan to use event shuttles or park‑and‑ride arrangements when available.

Seating & viewing: Event seating and viewing arrangements vary by event and will be detailed in the event listing. If you have a specific Wings Over Houston show or NASA-related program in mind, we’ll share the best ways to secure your seats and where to view from in a practical, non‑overwhelming way.

Nearby hotels & dining: Lodging is common in the Pasadena, Webster, and Clear Lake areas. Wings Over Houston typically lists host hotels for attendees. We’ll point you to affiliate partner hotels and nearby dining options to make your stay convenient without extra fuss.
