Houston airports suffering amid less holiday travel and COVID-19
HOUSTON โ Holiday weekend travel at George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport is down dramatically from past years. โThis is going to be our peak of number of passengers since April,โ said Houston Airport System spokesperson Augusto Bernal. However, TSA data shows only 87,000 passengers traveled by plane on April 14. As of this morning, the airport system showed 60% of parking available at both major airports. โUnfortunately a lot has been shut down, a lot has been closed,โ said Rob Wigington, the Executive Director of Airport Restaurant and Retail Association.
