United Airlines shifts Arrivals/Departures curbs at Bush Airport

The adjustment supports the $2.55 billion transformation of IAH Terminal B, one of the two original terminals that opened in June 1969. 

March 25, 2024

United Airlines is moving forward with constructing a new Terminal B at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). The ambitious project is set to redefine the air travel experience and cater to the future needs of an estimated 36 million passengers. The program encompasses the demolition of the original 1969-era flight stations and the construction of 40 new gates for both domestic and international travel, ensuring a cutting-edge experience for travelers. The Terminal B transformation includes expanding curbside and roadway capacity and the ticketing lobby. Additionally, a new United Club is set to become the largest club in the United system. The baggage claim hall will be expanded, and a new baggage handling system, equipped with advanced baggage tracking technology, will support increased capacity.
