Orlando International Airport's Terminal B and a main roadway were partially closed due to a "suspicious" bag, prompting an hours-long investigation by law enforcement. The Orlando Fire Department responded to the report of unattended luggage, leading to traffic diversions and unnerving many travelers. No hazard was found, and airport operations resumed before 9 p.m., but the incident left passengers feeling unsettled. Terminal B is home to several major airlines, including American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Delta, and United.
United Airlines and Houston Airport System will invest $2 billion into George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, with the highlight being a revamped Terminal B. The terminal will feature 40 new gates, split into two concourses, North and South. Terminal B North will house the world's largest United Club on the mezzanine level, offering views of the airfield. Other upgrades include an expanded pre-security ticketing and departures lobby, a new security checkpoint, and improved boarding for regional flights. The terminal will also have a sensory room, multimedia park, and special zones for passengers with disabilities. The baggage claim and arrivals hall will be expanded, and a new baggage handling system with advanced tracking technology will be implemented. No completion date has been announced.
