Southwest Airlines will begin serving flyers in April from George Bush Intercontinental Airport near Humble, according to a Dec. 10 news release from the airline.
Starting April 12, travelers will be able to fly nonstop daily from IAH to five destinations: Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Nashville and New Orleans. Flights will be as low as $29 one way from IAH to New Orleans, with the most expensive starting ticket fare being one-way flights to Denver and Chicago for $79, according to the release.
In a statement posted to the Houston Airport System's social media page on Dec. 10, HAS Director of Aviation Mario Diaz said the airline will be operating out of Terminal A.
"Southwest Airlines will continue its exceptional service and operations out of Hobby Airport, and its new service out of Bush Airport will only complement its current offerings," the statement read.
