nativehoustonion Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Very exciting news. The new Terminal C will have great food from chiefs from Houston. You can order with 800 IPads at their restaurants, or at the gate. Saw it on Culture map Houston new terminal will open next year. It will also have 2 United Clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It's interesting that Mr. Diaz wants to expand IAH operations into Africa yet I just found out from a buddy who works at United that they cut the Houston-Lagos, Nigeria route on June 30th. We are no longer an airport that services all inhabitable continents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Lagos is a hot mess right now. Think Caracas. Their currency has fallen off a cliff so the government their froze foreign exchanges leaving the airlines owed over $600 million dollars. United and Iberia have already left the market. Others have lowered the number of flights or seats offered to the market. Even British Air, which has served the country for over 80 years going back to colonial days, is hinting at exited the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the whole revival of the Biafra separatism issue along with the ongoing Boko Haram and associated Sahel extremism. Nigeria is going to be a mess for a while, possibly a decade or more.

tigereye Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Architect for new Terminal D to be hired by the end of the fall. Does that mean previous renders were just placeholders and project's design may change with architect hired?

tigereye Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Didn't see a thread for Terminal A. Once terminals C and D are completed, the airport will shift its focus to terminals A and B, he said. “We’re in the planning stages of a complete remodel of Terminal A, and also we’re working with United Airlines on two more concourses for Terminal B, which will replace the last boarding gates [at the airport that were constructed in] the 1960s,” Simmons said. https://communityimpact.com/houston/lake-houston-humble-kingwood/development-construction/2016/10/06/iah-plans-4-billion-facelift/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie21love Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 "Planning Stage" means another 10 years before seeing a dozer on site. Same as Terminal D, IAH needs to attract more domestic airlines and routes to push Terminal A rebuilding ahead… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying is Terminal D project is pushed ahead fast due to high demand from United and foreign airlines... Same for Terminal A. Demand drives everything.

wxman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm surprised we haven't seen any more foreign flags announced at Bush. I think the last one was Air New Zealand and that's been a year and a half ago. There for a while we were getting one every three months it seemed like.

corbs315 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I flew out of Terminal A for the first time in forever a couple weeks ago. Man, that was awful.

wxman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 United announced that they will begin seasonal service between Bush and Munich, Germany. Looks like flights will operate from April to October. http://www.chron.com/business/bizfeed/article/United-to-offer-seasonal-flight-from-IAH-to-Munich-10982978.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This would be more exciting if not for the fact that United served Munich non-stop year round in the very recent past. I flew it last summer to get to Athens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Air India is apparently putting Houston back on the table for expansion after announcing an anticipated launch date for LAX: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/air-india-to-add-los-angeles-houston-in-its-list-of-us-destinations/articleshow/59499919.cms 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) That would be awesome! With Air India being part of Star Alliance, I bet Houston wins the duel between us and Dallas. It'll be nice to have another big bird landing at IAH. Looks like they operate a lot of triple 7's on their international flights but they also still utilize the 47-4 and the 87. Would be cool to have more 47-4 service at IAH, too. The article is confusing. The title seems definitive that Houston and Los Angeles were selected for service but in the body of the article it says it's between Houston and Dallas. Which is it?

So I would be cautious about being excited about the possibility for new service. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-11/air-india-s-salvador-dali-ashtrays-and-surreal-debt-cloud-sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korean Air in recent schedule and inventory update adjusted planned Seoul Incheon – Houston route, with last flight scheduled on 10OCT17. Despite schedule listing shows service to resume from 29OCT17, reservation for this 3 weekly is closed on/after this date. Previously planned schedule during winter season (05NOV17 – 09MAR18) as follow. KE029 ICN0935 – 0735IAH 772 257 KE030 IAH0940 – 1555+1ICN 772 7 KE030 IAH0950 – 1605+1ICN 772 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when the route was announced back in 2014, it was kind of sudden then too. Only fitting that it ends suddenly. Kudos to Korean Air for having the Houston route as long as they did. Right after they announced the route, United announced double daily service to Tokyo. Then Eva Air and ANA entered the Houston market. Also, without an alliance hub in Houston, Korean Air could only rely on local traffic, which is not that much between Houston and Korea.

wxman Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 As you enter IAH from JFK blvd, you'll notice all the signs along the left side of the road directing you to the one of the terminals based on your airline. I noticed yesterday that there is another Terminal D airlines sign that is up (and blank) but I assume they are anticipating more foreign flags soon. Any word on anything heading our way this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
