They could relocate their planes to inland airports such as AUS, SAT, DFW, DAL, etc...
They could also temporarily operate (mini hub) out of these airports until IAH is back on line. DFW has a lot of empty gates thanks to Delta. AUS and SAT have about 4-5 gates available each.
Flying time from IAH to these cities at the most is 45 minutes.
