Houston IAH Terminal B Development Simulation

United Airlines / ARUP

Cignus utilized AirTOp fast-time simulation modeling to assess Terminal B development options at Houston IAH for United Airlines and ARUP. Comprehensive airfield and airspace simulation models evaluated operational impacts, capacity, and delays for proposed passenger terminal development plans.

Models included baseline East and West Flow configurations validated with ATC, and alternative option models for Terminal B North and South expansions through 2033 with ConOps and SOPs for future apron operations.

Outcomes

  • AirTOp simulation of IAH Terminal B expansion alternatives through 2033
  • Baseline models validated with United Airlines and ATC Tower
  • ConOps and SOPs for future apron operations including remote parking
  • Recommendations addressing congestion hot spots throughout the airfield
