Houston’s airports are reopening, not many flights going today

Share

Houston’s two commercial airports (IAH and HOU) are set to reopen on Wednesday afternoon as southeastern Texas begins to unravel the mess caused by Hurricane Harvey.

With thousands of flights already canceled by the storm the airports reopening is a major step forward in getting people and supplies moving. But the vast majority of flights will still not be operating for at least a day; it could be early next week before something resembling normal operations resume.

Southwest previously canceled all flights at Hobby through at least Noon on Thursday:

United also announced that operations would be suspended through Noon Thursday. It expects to resume operations with only hub-to-hub flights for the first day, ensuring that it can staff the flights and keep things moving
