United unveils first phase of major renovations at IAH
United Continental and New York-based OTG have unveiled the new 265,000-square-foot Terminal C North at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The $277m renovation included technology upgrades, modernizing gate-lounge areas and adding five new restaurants from some of Houston’s most renowned chefs such as Chris Shepherd and Monica Pope. The restaurants will open next month. “This new terminal is truly befitting Houston’s hometown airline,” said Scott Kirby, president of United. United and OTG, which specializes in airport redesigns, first announced their partnership in May 2016. They are also renovating Terminal C South and Terminal E as part of phase II, which will include adding eight restaurants from Houston chefs. Phase II should be complete in the second half of the year. Overall, OTG will invest more than $120m in United's terminals at IAH, according to a spokesperson. The renovations include installing thousands of iPads throughout the terminals that will allow passengers to access entertainment and order food on the go. United also has a deal through that program where passengers can use their miles to purchase food and other products.<br/>
