In the mid 1980s, West Houston Airport was served by Air West (a commuter air carrier not to be confused with Hughes Airwest) with eight nonstop flights every weekday to Dallas Love Field operated with four engine, 50-passenger seat de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7 turboprops with these aircraft being STOL (short take off and landing) capable which was advantageous in light of the relatively short runway at IWS. ==See also==
