Monica Horvath has 19 years of experience as an aviation industry professional. She now serves as manager of landside operations at Hobby Airport. That means overseeing physical properties such as roadways and on-site parking garages.
She’s a Southern California native who’s lived in Houston with her husband since 2014. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business management.
Before her board appointment, Horvath served on the District’s economic development and public safety committees for a year. Other Houston airport executives have served on the District board; Horvath is proud to take her turn at a time of growth at Hobby Airport. In 2023, Houston airports reached a record number of passengers. Bush Intercontinental Airport and Hobby Airport saw 60.1 million passengers.
Horvath is excited to revive and revitalize community engagement activities and programs at the airport. This includes Hobby Fest, a typically annual event held on the Hobby Airport grounds in past years, featuring free food, games, music, and aviation exhibits and activities.
