O’Hare’s First New Gates in 25 Years Open for Passengers
American Airlines and the City of Chicago cut the ribbon Friday on five new gates at O’Hare International Airport, the airport’s first new gates in 25 years. The $78-million project, financed by the airline, was not part of the planned $8.5-billion O’Hare expansion approved by the City Council earlier this spring.
However, the 41,000-square-foot L concourse gate expansion project at O’Hare’s Terminal 3 will deliver “immediate benefits for passengers flying through O’Hare with fewer delays, more space to relax and expanded services,” said Ginger Evans, the city’s aviation commissioner. “This project also sets the stage for even more improvements to come, as we expand O’Hare’s terminal capacity in the coming years.”
With the new gates, “we’re renewing our commitment to serving our customers in Chicago and growing our service at O’Hare,” said Doug Parker, American chairman and CEO.
