[edit] Airport International Medical Visitor Service Center

should this be included in the main article? its pretty important, seeing that it offers its own lounge, ground transport, etc to the TMC.IAH777 (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aviacsa is gone

Aviacsa service ends January 13th. Go to aviacsa.com, which IS A SOURCE. You cannot book it past January 13th. There is no media source in English, because it isn't being publicized. Simple as that. To say that an airlines website is not a source is idiotic, and just trying to deny the truth.65.9.185.75 (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

look at Wikipedia:Reliable source and that will answer your question. simple as that. IAH777 (talk) 22:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CI ending service

email from: Genaro J. Peña Director of Marketing Houston Airport System (281) 233-1808 genaro.pena@cityofhouston.net

"I agree that it is a shame we'll be losing China Airlines passenger service, one of Houston's first Asian-flag carriers. At this juncture, the Houston Airport System is aggressively engaged in negotiations with a number of air carriers offering service to East and Southeast Asia, as well as to other global locations

As you may know the aviation industry is always in a state of constant flux as the result of rising fuel and security costs, changing flight patterns and travel habits and the emergence of new technologies that affect range and load considerations for air travel, to name a few.

The Asian Pacific rim is an area of great interest to the Houston Airport System and our marketing department along with a host of other city agencies is in constant dialogue promoting the benefits, business opportunities and passenger traffic levels that Houston and the surrounding metropolitan area have to offer. That includes a sizable Asian population.

We will continue our considerable efforts to attract viable and suitable partners to provide services to that region.

We hope that in the coming months we will be able to announce a number of new service opportunities for passengers using George Bush Intercontinental Airport including more service opportunities to Asia."

ufortunately thats a definate confirmaton comming from HAS themselves. IAH777 15:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Hey, I'll e-mail him and ask him to try to get some other airlines to establish service to Taipei :) WhisperToMe 20:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
    • yeah i did ask about possible new service. rumour has it that SIA and EVA might be possiblities. i know that SIA with their A345 can make a direct, non-stop flight but i don't know if EVA can do it with their 77W's.

IAH777 14:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

    • I doubt SIA will fly Houston to Taipei, given they have plans for a IAH-DME (Moscow)-SIN route next summer. However, EVA has a codeshare with CO, and new 777s which already do nonstop Taipei-USA flights, so its pretty likely that if anyone will fly IAH-TPE, itll be EVA. 69.249.65.12 (talk) 21:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BA Heathrow service

I believe that its important to state that this route will change from a direct service (via DTW which is ending) to a non-stop service due to the recent open skies agreement between the US and EU. 75.6.212.84 1 July 2007

I agree. It says so on BA's site that the route will change.

14:13 4 July, 2007 (UTC)

Whether service is nonstop or not is irrelevant, it is meant to be a list of direct destinations. I have not seen any Wiki airport site that distinguishes such. V-train 00:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the destination list is for both direct and non-stop destinations therefore because BA is still serving LHR from IAH by one of the two there's no reason to indicate another begin date. This is a destination list, not a route list. NcSchu 13:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Header left.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] An inter-terminal train

the part that says "An inter-terminal train outside of the sterile zone connects all five terminals and the airport hotel which can be accessed by all." I believe is wrong, the train stations are on the secure side just like DFW air port....

64.183.226.111 22:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

yah I think your right 64.183.226.111 19:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Not unless they've changed it since I rode it last, a year or so ago (there is a subway that has been there for years, accessible from the elevators off the ticketing lobbies of the various terminals; it's not talking about the above-ground TerminaLink, which is behind the secure zone - it's wonderful when you can't park at the right terminal because the garage is full) --Souperman 22:55, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The "subway" train has been operating at IAH for many years and has been expanded several times. This system is based on the WEDway PeopleMover technology developed by WED Enterprises. Unless changes have been made, the inter-terminal train is outside the secure zone and can be utilized by the general public. Jay77tx 21:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CIty Star Airlines no go?

According to this thread, City Star may not fly to Houston: http://www2.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/3731613/

Check the DOT to see if the airline applied for services to Houston WhisperToMe (talk) 11:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renovation section

The Reference link is no longer functioning, was wondering if there was another link that's available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by --Hourick (talk) 17:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IAH History

We need to get more into the IAH history section. There are only three paragraphs now. Anyone know a lot about the history of IAH? XxTrillvillexX9 (talk) 21:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion info Links missing

While looking through I noticed that the link for the expansion was no longer available and wasn't able to find it on the website. So before I put on a fact tag on it, I figure I'd give someone a chance to locate it. --Hourick (talk) 02:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
