On Tuesday, October 22, at 7 a.m., Houston Airports unveiled Terminal D-West Pier, a 160,000-square-foot expansion of the existing Terminal D at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). This marks a significant milestone in the airport’s modernization efforts.

The new pier features six gates, D1 through D6, providing greater flexibility to meet the growing demand from both passengers and airlines by accommodating either wide-body or narrow-body aircraft. The Terminal D-West Pier is the length of a 7-story building. The expansion brings Terminal D’s total footprint to nearly 500,000 square feet, offering design features like a copper-colored ceiling inspired by Houston’s live oak trees, a 380-foot LED wall and comfortable seating equipped with cup holders and modern charging ports. Passenger amenities include a mother’s room, a companion care changing room, a sensory room and restrooms with smart technology.
