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.
