United Airlines invests $177 million to enhance Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport

Since 2021, United has invested $32 billion globally in infrastructure and technology, with significant resources allocated to modernizing IAH. The airline's previous Terminal B Transformation project launched with Houston Airport Systems has seen over $2 billion invested to accommodate future passenger needs. The program includes a remodeled ticketing lobby, improved security processing, and new concourses.

The Terminal B South Concourse will be modified to host larger jets with features such as new gates, amenities like sensory rooms, and expanded retail spaces. In early 2025, United also unveiled its United Club Fly at IAH, providing travelers with a quick dining and rest option. This initiative aids those on quick layovers and is accessible to United Club members and premium cabin travelers.

The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will also benefit from United's investments. In 2021, the airline opened a $352 million Technical Operations Center to optimize service for its aircraft. This complex, housing aircraft maintenance facilities and a parts warehouse, is designed to enhance efficiency and complies with environmental building standards.

Overall, these facility upgrades at IAH and LAX aim to bolster United Airlines' operational effectiveness and passenger experience, underscoring its strategic commitment to U.S. travelers.
