It is located between [[Interstate 45]] and [[U.S._Highway_59|Highway 59]], inside the Houston city limits in the [[Aldine, Texas|Aldine]] area, and is adjacent to [[Humble, Texas|Humble]]. | |||
Bush Intercontinental has flights to other parts of the [[United States]], as well as to [[Canada]], [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America|South]] America, [[Europe]], and [[Asia]].

It is the ninth busiest in the [[United States]] for total passengers, and nineteenth busiest worldwide. | |||
Houston is the headquarters of [[Continental Airlines]], and IAH is Continental's largest hub, with nearly 700 daily departures. Because of Houston's proximity to [[American Airlines]]' hub in [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]]-[[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]], that airline also maintains a large presence at IAH. A long list of cities within Texas, as well as international destinations are served directly from this airport. With 30 destinations in [[Mexico]], IAH offers service to more Mexican destinations than any other US airport. IAH currently ranks 2nd in the United States among U.S. airports with scheduled non-stop domestic and international service (221 destinations), trailing only [[Atlanta]] Hartsfield with 250 destinations. | |||
