Houston’s two major airports reopened Wednesday on a limited basis, as floodwaters receded and the skies over the Texas city cleared with monster storm Harvey moving to the east.
The two airports, George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby, were to resume operations at 4 pm (2100 GMT), after the runways and roads leading to the airport were cleared of water.
No flights were imminent, but airport officials hoped airlines would quickly resume service.
About 800 passengers with connecting flights were stuck at the city’s airports as Harvey made landfall over the weekend as a Category Four hurricane.
Starting Sunday, air carriers evacuated most of those passengers out of the airports to Dallas, Chicago or Detroit, where they could be connected to flights to their ultimate destinations.
