As thousands of airline passengers touch down in Houston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the George Bush Intercontinental Airport and the William P. Hobby Airport have revealed their newest amenities to meet high-volume needs, including a fully operational Terminal E at IAH and upgraded restrooms, officials said in a news release.

Two-minute impact: The Houston Airport System projects an estimated 4.5 million travelers from around the globe will land in Houston either as their destination or their connecting flight to another host city between June 12 and July 6, according to a news release.

This influx of passengers traveling through the city’s airways has prompted HAS officials to prepare accordingly with upgraded facilities and concessions, multilingual customer service and newly implemented fan activations in both of its airports.
