Landing Soon at IAH C-South & E

 

OTG and United Airlines are announcing plans to further expand the dining and retail experience in United’s Terminals at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.

 

In addition to re-imagining the customer experience in United’s new C-North terminal as previously announced, OTG will add eight additional new restaurants in Terminals C-South and E, all inspired by local Houston chefs and flavors.

OTG’s award-winning flo® tech, featured across nearly 8,000 iPads situated at restaurants and gate lounges throughout all three terminals will also be seamlessly integrated into the customer experience.

While C-North is slated to open in March, 2017, these new plans for C-South and E are expected to be completed in the second half of 2017.

Chef-Led Dining with Distinctive Houston Flavor: Plans for the terminals include a variety of new dining venues with notable chefs developing the restaurant concepts and menus. They include:
