He added that it was an honor to know that their unique visual and performing arts experience resonated with customers as well as Skytrax.

In June 2020, The City of Houston, Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs (MOCA) and Houston Airports commissioned 10 major permanent works at Bush Airport and William P. Hobby Airport which supported local artists during COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 MOCA and Houston Airports made their largest one-time airport art acquisition with 74 pieces. Additionally, they are also the only airport with an active Artist-in-Residence program.

The win is historic for Houston Airports and commercial aviation industry as it demonstrates their commitment towards providing excellent customer service through thoughtful investments in art programs that represent their city and global community they serve.
