United Airlines expects normal flight operations in Houston by Friday

United Airlines expects to have all scheduled Houston flights back up and running by Friday, a little less than 2 weeks after Hurricane Harvey halted flights to the city. United, which began gradually resuming flights when Houston's George Bush Intercontinental reopened Wednesday, initially said its recovery could take weeks. Friday, the airline said that process was moving faster than expected. The airline expected to have about 330 flights take off from Houston's Bush Airport Tuesday, about 73% of what it would operate on a typical day this time of year. Now, the airline is trying to reassure customers wary of cancellations when traveling through Houston. "Now that our systems are current and the schedule is in place, if the website says a flight is operating, we intend to operate it," the airline said. <br/>
