Houston Airport System breaks ground on a new IAH Terminal
The Houston Airport System, United Airlines and Houston Mayor Annise Parker held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $160 million redevelopment project at George Bush International Airport January 23, 2012.
Phase one of the three-phase project will create a new Terminal B, south concourse. It will replace the existing south-side stations with a new 225, 000 square-foot facility to accommodate United Airlines' regional aircraft operations.
"Houston will thrive as our global gateway expands to include more flights and greater access to business connections around the world, " Parker said in a statement.
"Bush Intercontinental is the first impression many people have of Houston, " said Mario Diaz, Director of the Houston Airport System, in a statement. "We exist to connect people, businesses and economies around the world, and this project will allow for an enhanced customer experience and a stronger gateway for our air service needs."
