American Airlines and United Airlines on Friday [03 May 2024] announced support for extensive renovations at O'Hare International Airport, effectively allowing a major rebuilding project to proceed, weeks after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson made key revisions to the construction schedule.
American and United, the airport's largest carriers, signed off on the Terminal Area Project after the city proposed changing the order of construction on the new Global Terminal and nearby satellite concourses, the Chicago Tribune reported. In a reversal of previous plans, work on the new terminal, which is slated to replace Terminal 2, will be accelerated, while the construction of two satellite concourses will be delayed.
