HOUSTON — Demolition of the old IAH Terminal C-North started in November 2019 and was completed in the summer of 2020. The demolition of the old facility was needed to make room for the IAH Terminal D expansion. 

The demolition project was virtually invisible to the traveling public – the plan was to safely demolish the building without interfering with ongoing operations within the adjoining buildings.
