asubrt Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 United will be starting daily service to Santiago, Chile on December 7th with a 763.

nativehoustonion Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes they are flying to Punta Cana this winter from IAH and ORD to Belize City. And Aruba from IAH added a Saturday flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 They are starting the North B concourse for mainline flights next year.

nativehoustonion Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 United will have 14 787-800 and 900 by the end of the year. In 2015 I was told United will receive another 22 next year. I was told they are rethinking the 25 Airbus-350XB to replace the 747-400s. Emirates cancelled there order of 70. It was big blow to Airbus.

nonenadazilch Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 So, looks like DFW gets Emirates A380 service starting in October with Qantas A380 service to Sydney a bit later on. For IAH, the news is out that Emirates swaps 777 service with the A380 starting 12/3/14. Coupled with Lufthansa's existing IAH-FRA route and what looks to be Houston Airport System's anticipation of both Air France and Qatar Airways replacing their Boeing 777s with A380s, IAH flyers might soon be seeing 4 of those massive tail fins in north Houston before too long. Lots of interesting details are in the city's Terminal D renovation draft plan in case anyone has interest. IAH is really growing up: the city plans to have 15 gates for Term D including 12 "flex" gates to accommodate various long-haul planes. When they're not around, those flex gates can service 737s and CRJs. The .pdf also mentions gate plans include utilization by United Airlines so Term D won't be exclusively for foreign carriers.

nativehoustonion Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 AA does not have a partner in China. Where is the connectivity in China? They will just lose money with no connections inside China. United has Air China partner from IAH doing very well plus Shenzhen Airlines. This is AA biggest weakness, they want to get a board.

asubrt Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Spirit will also have international service at both. You also left off Avianca for IAH, so really 21 carriers with international service once everything announced starts up (counting SonAir). And Qantas and Sun Country at DFW so they have 17.

houstontexasjack Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 How the heck is Westjet not serving Houston yet? I realize this may not be the best time to start Calgary, but in terms of its PDEW, it is second only to London for O/D traffic for international travel from Houston. Korean's decision to fly here (aside: don't get me wrong, I love seeing an additional tail fin at IAH), is baffling, but Westjet's absence has been equally baffling.
