Houston IAH: nonstop flights to Monterrey, Mexico and Norway

HOUSTON – Mexican airline Interjet will begin nonstop flights on October 23 between George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Monterrey, Mexico. Houston is a new destination for Interjet.

Travelers will have two flight options Monday through Friday, and one flight per day Saturdays and Sundays.

Houston’s increasing demand for international travel, especially with Mexico, prompted the addition. According to the Houston Airport System’s statement, in the past ten years, the international passenger totals have increased more than 60 percent, rising to a record total of 9 million in 2013.

In August, IAH added another international destination. Scandinavian Airlines began nonstop flights from Houston to Stavanger, Norway.

In May, HAS announced plans to demolish and rebuild IAH’s Terminal D, an international terminal. The $1.5 billion makeover will span five years and will cater to travelers increasingly heading to far-flung destinations, such as Asia.
