HOUSTON — George Bush Intercontinental Airport’s Terminal B is in the process of being transformed.
With progress underway on its $2.55 billion investment, United Airlines is working to enhance the passenger experience. The redevelopment of one of Bush Airport’s two original terminals will introduce state-of-the-art facilities, an expanded security screening area and upgraded amenities to accommodate the increasing demand for air travel.
Two massive 1,100-ton cranes are actively shaping the new Processor—the centralized hub for ticketing, security screening and baggage claim. The site has seen advancements since early 2025, with steel structures rising as United Airlines and its construction partners move full steam ahead.
Additionally, the United Club in Terminal B closed on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025, as part of the terminal’s redevelopment. Once the new Terminal B opens, it will feature a 50,000 sq. foot United Club—the largest in the airline’s network.
United Club Fly now open in Terminal B
In addition, a new United Club Fly is now open. Located near gates B12-B20 and right across from Panda Express and the Line Sports Grill, the 2,440-square-foot space has a self-scan entry process, allowing eligible guests—including United Club members, United Club Infinite cardholders and United customers traveling internationally in a premium cabin and Star Alliance Gold members traveling internationally—to grab premium to-go selections.
The United Club Fly is open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Future of IAH
- New Concessions & Retail: United Airlines and OTG have released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 24 new concession spaces in Terminal B, including a mix of food, beverage and specialty retail.
- Expanded Passenger Amenities: The redesigned Terminal B will feature 40 new gates, spacious concourses and an upgraded curbside experience for Departures and Arrivals.
- Improved Security & Check-in: A modernized processor will streamline passenger flow with expanded TSA screening lanes, self-service kiosks and a next-generation baggage system.
United Airlines is providing a complimentary shuttle for passengers who park in the IAH A/B Parking Garages. Parking is also available in the IAH C/D/E Garage.
