O'Hare International Airport

O'Hare International Airport is one of three airports in Chicago, the other two being Midway and Gary-Chicago International Airports. But, when we talk of the Chicago Airport, it's the O'Hare that comes to mind. It is special in more ways than one. To begin with, it is one of the few airports located across two counties. It is partly in Cook and partly in DuPage County.

This primary airport for Chicago is 10 miles further from the loop (Chicago's commercial and financial district) than Chicago Midway International Airport. It was established in World War II as a manufacturing plant for construction of aircrafts till the contract expired. Till then, the Midway Airport was the primary airport for the city. But repeated expansions could not force this small airport cope with the increased air traffic. It was then that the O'Hare International Airport was developed.

The Chicago International Airport is very well connected with the roads and metro rail system. Entry and exit for cars is via the I-190. The blue line of the subway extends to the airport. Buses and the airport transit system also have a good connectivity to the city. Transportation in the airport itself is done with the help of the airport transit system which has an automatic people moving system. This is a round the clock service connecting all parts of the airport to the parking.

This is one of the busiest airports in North America. Almost every major airline, domestic and international, has flights to this airport. These flights exclude the cargos flights that come and go with startling frequency. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are exclusively for domestic flights. That leaves only terminal 5 for international flights. This means, it can get busy here. There are very frequent delays and cancellations of flights owing to the extensive traffic, sheer volume of people and cargo and a jammed flight schedule. This is known to be one of the least punctual airports in America.

The other important factor leading to rescheduling of flight plans at this airport is the weather. Due to the sometimes severe climatic conditions, flights get delayed, rescheduled or even cancelled. Outbound passengers are advised to arrive at the airport two hours before the scheduled time of flight. Whereas people going to the airport to receive passengers are best advised to check the flights schedule before leaving.

Now, after a lot of opposition, planning and delays, work has started to expand this airport. The expansion plans are extensive. The O'Hare Modernisation Program is the mayor's idea of a modern airport for the Windy City. This is to be done without the taxpayers' money. Funding and approval are taken care of. Construction has begun. It includes adding more airstrips and terminals to better regulate the traffic. The expansion process will also include the automated people moving system which is to be overhauled and a number of cars to be added. Hopefully this should sort out the delays one so often hears of at the Chicago Airport.
