AEX Celebrates the Return of United Air Service to Houston

ALEXANDRIA, La. (May 21, 2026) – Today, Alexandria International Airport (AEX) hosted a gate-site celebration at the terminal to mark the return of United Airlines service to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston. The new, twice-a-day, nonstop United Express flights, operated by SkyWest Airlines, provide increased connections and access for travelers.

Nearly 100 attendees gathered to greet the first arriving passengers from Houston, hear from airport and airline executives and community stakeholders, and bid farewell to the first departing passengers. The England Airpark Fire Department provided water cannon salutes for both flights.

β€œThe return of United service to Houston is a major milestone for AEX and a direct response to the needs of our business and leisure travelers,” stated England Economic and Industrial Development District Executive Director Ralph Hennessy.
