Dec. 15—George Bush Intercontinental Airport was named Airport of the Year by the Transportation Security Administration. This is the second year in a row that the Houston airport has received the award.

The award recognizes TSA teams with outstanding achievements in key operations and mission support functions, according to a press release.

"The TSA team in Houston consists of more than 1100 employees from frontline TSA officers to inspectors, canine handlers, explosives experts, managers, program analysts and a host of others who work together every single day of the year to ensure that we protect the travelling public to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce," said Juan Sanchez, TSA's Federal Security Director for IAH. "Our team comprised of TSA officers and others demonstrate their commitment daily through their hard work, professionalism and commitment."

Following their success for winning the award last year, the airport was also recognized for maintaining the same pace this year, despite the coronavirus.
