United Airlines will launch twice-daily direct flights to Houston from Chattanooga on March 30.
The new trips to George Bush Intercontinental Airport will operate 14 times per week, and they will offer travelers greater flexibility and access to United’s global network through Houston, airport officials said in a news release. The flights will depart from Chattanooga at 7 a.m. and 5:15 p.m.
“Better air service was a big goal of mine entering office, to create a more competitive regional economy,” Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly said in a news release. “Expanding air service benefits everyone — from small business owners and major employers to families who want easier access to travel. This new route is another big win for Chattanooga and a testament to what we can achieve when we share the same vision.”
Lovell Field has broken monthly boarding records throughout 2025, which comes after the airport posted an all-time high passenger count of nearly 557,000 for 2024. April Cameron, the CEO of the Chattanooga Airport, said in October the airfield could be on track for another record year.
