By the numbers: Houston airports breaking records all year, 1.9M people to fly this holiday week

Houston’s airports are on pace for a year that will go down in the record books. This upcoming week, our airports are anticipating nearly 2 million passengers at William P. Hobby and George Bush Intercontinental Airports between June 29 and July 8. According to stats, this represents an 8% increase from 2023. “This is going to exceed Memorial Day, which we set the history record for United Airlines here in Houston,” said Peggy Slay, a customer service manager at United Airlines. “We expect to handle about 50,000 people a day.”
