They also expect 1.2 million passengers to fly through Bush and Hobby Airports through July 5 – a 12% jump from 2021. Cancellations have been minimal at Bush Intercontinental Airport, a total of six in the last 24 hours, compared to much larger numbers at other U.S. airports. "I’ve talked with a lot of coworkers, and they’ve had a lot more delays," says Kim Nelson who arrived to Houston from Atlanta. "They’re flying Delta and American there. So a lot more."
