美联航启用布什机场B航站楼北候机厅：22个登机口，美洲最大航空公司贵宾室亮相
位于德克萨斯州哈里斯县的休斯顿乔治·布什洲际机场10月22日迎来新设施：美联航正式启用B航站楼北候机厅，为旅客带来更多空间与全新设施。
据FOX 26报道，这座三层、76.4万平方英尺的新候机厅设有22个登机口，取代了始建于1969年的老旧设施，是美联航26亿美元B航站楼改造计划的重要组成部分。北候机厅与南候机厅全部完工后，B航站楼将共有48个登机口。新候机厅内设有一间5.4万平方英尺的美联航贵宾室（United Club），可容纳800名旅客，配有1350平方英尺的户外露台、两间全服务酒吧、私人电话间与高速无线网络，美联航称其为南北美洲最大的航空公司贵宾室。
美联航首席执行官 Scott Kirby 表示，从设计开始到建成启用仅用了33个月。休斯顿机场方面称，改造完成后，2026年出行高峰日的旅客承载能力将比2023年提升40%，改造还包括新的行李处理系统与扩大的路边上下客能力。目前经B航站楼出行的旅客仍需在C航站楼下车办理值机与托运，再前往B航站楼登机。（GSM 据FOX 26报道）
United Opens Terminal B North Concourse at Bush Airport: 22 Gates and the Americas' Largest Airline Club
George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Harris County, Texas, gained a major new facility on October 22, as United Airlines officially opened the Terminal B North Concourse.
According to FOX 26, the three-level, 764,000-square-foot concourse has 22 gates and replaces facilities dating back to 1969. It is a key part of United's $2.6 billion Terminal B Transformation Program. When both the North and South concourses are complete, Terminal B will have 48 gates in total. The new concourse houses a 54,000-square-foot United Club that can seat 800 travelers, with a 1,350-square-foot outdoor terrace, two full-service bars, private phone rooms and high-speed Wi-Fi; United calls it the largest airline club in North and South America.
United CEO Scott Kirby said the project took just 33 months from the start of design work to opening. Houston airport officials said the transformation will increase peak-day passenger capacity in 2026 by 40 percent compared with 2023, alongside a new baggage handling system and expanded curbside capacity. For now, Terminal B passengers should still be dropped off at Terminal C to check in and drop bags before heading to Terminal B for their flights. (GSM, based on FOX 26 reporting)
