LA is more a destination airport more than a transfer airport. It gets huge numbers for what is does. |
I have never figured out why the media is so focused on passenger traffic alone and never use the movement number more. Perfect example, if they shut down ATL for a week mainly regional east and southeast flights would be affected. If they shut down one of the big cargo hubs ANC, MEM or SDF you would know all over the country it happened. Cargo traffic is just important as passenger traffic, especially in 2020 and 2021.

Terminal 5 Expansion Progress
From the ORD Twitter Page:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FQ5Bn1rV...pg&name=medium Looks like good progress on the Terminal 5 Expansion from above! Can't really tell how far the facade is coming along though. Hopefully the expansion is on track to complete in the summer! You can see some new jet bridges being added at the bottom of the image! |

Frontier Airlines Kicks Off Its Chicago Midway Flights
“On Thursday, Frontier launched a swag of new routes from Chicago's Midway Airport, locking down that airport's new role as Frontier's key Chicago airport. From zero to hero, Frontier will now fly from Midway (MDW) to Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Ontario, Phoenix, Tampa, and Trenton. Later in the year, Frontier will begin flights from Midway to Philadelphia, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale.” https://simpleflying.com/frontier-ai...idway-flights/ |
Chicago might have a problem if the majors don't pick up flying next year. They have limited their flying at ORD shifting to cities like Denver, Charlotte, Atlanta and Dallas still this year so don't look for good numbers in 2022. We still have alot of movements due to the heavy cargo flight counts but I am surprised at the lack of passenger flights compared to 2019.

Does anyone know the plan for the old Lot E? It's a huge parking lot with an existing ATS people mover station. I don't know why they would just let it sit there abandoned.

Seems foolish to throw away a perfectly good parking lot with people-mover access. That station would cost 60M to build new, and it's not even very old - it's newer than the Orange Line! Not to mention the savings you can get from discontinuing the shuttle buses. |

I sort of wish they would push rideshare pickup out to this spot so pickups don't clog the departure level curbs. |
T5 expansion completion date
Has there been any details provided on the new Delta Club at T5? I couldn’t find anything other than an opening this fall. Is it safe to assume it will double as a Sky Team lounge too?
Also, are there any other details about the interior of The expanded T5, such as other lounges going in, or even expanded lounges? What is the latest completion date? |

I fly back Sunday evening and will try to see if anything looks close to done. |
Flair Canada started service today with a 737 MAX to Toronto. Nice bright colors contrast the dull US mainline colors.
Also Icelandair upgraded to 757-300 aircraft to Chicago this week. |

Not sure if it was included in that article or not but the groundbreaking on the new six-level parking garage at Terminal 5 broke ground today.

Also, great to see the A380 back at ORD! British Airways restarted its daily LHR-ORD A380 service on June 1st 2022! |

Nothing too serious. The pandemic delayed all the federal regulatory agencies, so the clock resets as everything works through the regulatory queue. Quote:
