Houston is not only home to area residents it also serves as a hub for many who travel regularly for work, for pleasure and those who visit Houston. Despite being a major hub, travel in and out of Houston airports had decreased in 2009, but made a comeback at the end of the year.
At both major Houston airports, George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and William P. Hobby (HOU), airline passenger counts rose during the end of the year. At IAH passenger totals rose 2% from 3.4 million passengers in December 2008 to 3.5 million in December 2009. International travel was also on the rise, with 715,451 passengers travelling in 2009 compared to 661,462 passengers the year before, a rise of 8.2%.
