O'Hare airport terminal upgrades lag behind other major U.S. hubs, study finds

O'Hare is running out of time to modernize its aging terminals as a new DePaul University study warns that further construction delays could worsen congestion and hurt the airport's global standing . Why it matters: O'Hare is the only airport among the nation's busiest that hasn't completed a major terminal overhaul meeting the study's criteria in decades. O'Hare's last qualifying major terminal project was Terminal 5, which opened in 1993. The latest: The study from DePaul's Chaddick Institute warns that Chicago faces a difficult seven years as it tries to modernize its aging terminals while accommodating growing passenger traffic.

By the numbers: Departing planes at O'Hare spent an average of 28 minutes taxiing before takeoff, while arriving planes took nearly 20 minutes to reach their gates, according to the study. Since 2023, outbound taxi times have increased 26%, while inbound times have jumped 41%.
