Keep the story of Houston Metro Airlines close with a layer inspired by a remarkable chapter in regional flying. Founded in 1969, the airline connected Clear Lake City with Houston Intercontinental from its own short take-off and landing airfield near the NASA Johnson Space Center. Its routes expanded across Texas and Louisiana, and Metroflight later entered American Eagle service. From neighborhood shuttle beginnings to a broader feeder network, this piece recalls the ambition and changing identity of a Houston aviation name.
Founded in 1969 to serve the Houston area, Houston Metro Airlines began with short cross-town flights linking Clear Lake City to Houston Intercontinental Airport. The company built a dedicated short take-off and landing airstrip, terminal and hangar near the NASA Johnson Space Center. Its network grew to include destinations across southeast and south Texas, as well as Lafayette and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Early flights used de Havilland Canada Twin Otter aircraft; Short 330 turboprops later supported higher-demand routes. In 1974, its Metroflight division tried a brief Twin Otter shuttle between Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, ending the service in 1975. The company expanded into a holding company, acquiring or creating regional operators and supplying feeder flights for major airlines. Metroflight began American Eagle service on November 1, 1984, while an Atlanta-based operation flew as Eastern Metro Express. Acquisitions included Chaparral Airlines in 1987 and Brockway Air in 1989. Metro entered Chapter 11 in 1991 and ceased operations in May 1993. AMR Corporation bought the airline's assets; some Metroflight assets later went to Simmons Airlines. The Clear Lake City airfield was subsequently abandoned and demolished for suburban development.
