15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Houston to Richmond use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 145 km short after reserves on a 1,860 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. George Bush Intercontinental Airport has 12,001 ft and Richmond International Airport 9,003 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
Alternates within range: Ellington Airport (9,001 ft, 45 km) · Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (7,501 ft, 41 km) · David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport (7,009 ft, 22 km) · Sugar Land Regional Airport (8,000 ft, 50 km) · Richmond Executive-Chesterfield County Airport (5,500 ft, 21 km) · Hanover County Municipal Airport (5,402 ft, 25 km) · Dinwiddie County Airport (5,002 ft, 39 km) · Middle Peninsula Regional Airport (5,000 ft, 49 km)
