One of George Bush Intercontinental Airport's terminals will remain closed until further notice, despite the agreement reached in Washington, D.C. Friday to temporarily end the federal government shutdown.

The ticketing counter and TSA security checkpoint at Terminal B has been closed since Jan. 13, and will remain shut due to "staffing issues," said Houston Airport System spokesman Bill Begley.

Flights departing from and arriving at Terminal B will continue as normal, and all other operations at the terminal will remain open.

Passengers flying from Terminal B are being sent to Terminals C and E to check in for their flights. As of Friday evening, the security line waits at both terminals were less than 15 minutes, according to fly2houston.com.
