A closer look at recently unveiled plans for the redevelopment of Terminal 5, courtesy of Chicago Aviation's YouTube page. The video is very well put together (if you don't mind corny background music, that is ;)): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp_sr...hannel&list=UL
More content related to T5 can be found here: http://www.chicagot5.com/ Also, the I-190 entry and exit resurfacing/rehab project is moving ahead for a targeted final completion date of November 15: http://flychicago.com/PDF/Announceme...ab_project.pdf |
Wow, that runway must taste weird.

Here's a list of the recent/upcoming changes in international flights from ORD. Not all of these have been formally announced yet.
Seoul: Korean Air reduces frequency to 7x weekly, but upgauges to 747 replacing 777. Seoul: Asiana increasing frequency to 7x weekly, offsetting Korean Air reduction. Berlin: Air Berlin starting service to Berlin-Tegel @ 4x weekly. Beijing: Hainan Airlines to begin 5x weekly service with A340-600. Doha: Qatar Airways to begin daily flights using 777-300ER equipment. Vienna: Austrian Airlines to begin daily service using 777s. Dusseldorf: American Airlines to begin daily service. Tokyo: All Nippon adding a 2nd daily flight. Dublin: Aer Lingus adding an additional 4x weekly flights, bringing total to 11x weekly. Dubai: Emirates to begin daily service. Where these flights will operate from is still up in the air as widebody gate space is very limited. Terminal 5 is at peak capacity during primetime for the European bank of flights (afternoon-evening). AA and UA may need to let their partners use widebody gate space at T1 and T3. Whether they are willing to do that, or even have any free space themselves, is still up in the air as well. |
I was thwarted in my attempts to get before and after pics from the side of Irving Park - they MOVED the f---n road. New one is very nice, old one is being removed now.

Where did you hear this? Is EK will start nonstop flight ORD-DXB? I don't see a real official release. I don't have a source of this.

Old rail overpass over Irving Old Irving New Irving Work continues About here - ( July 2009 ) Bensionville 2009 |
Crain's today reported that the CONRAC/rental garage has a price tag of $765 million. This includes $340 million for the people-mover extension and $400 million for the garage.
Is it just me, or do these prices seem 4x higher than they should be? |
^ Funny how each of us has that reaction at different times for different transit related projects. My uneducated opinion would be that, with CONRAC's maze of various access ramp and flyover connections, fuel storage tanks, and other facilities needed for washing and maintenance of thousands of vehicles, it's at least in the right order of magnitude. As for the ATS ... I agree (though, what if it includes rolling stock?).

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...transit-system The article is a bit dated but it says the city plans to purchase 24 new ATS cars, probably a total replacement of the fleet plus some extra to allow for higher frequency. I hope the new ones will be a little more streamlined. |
the price tag seems high
also the metro/depot not as good as the new one in miami. |
Here's an odd one.... probably wont materialize.
BH Air is applying to the US DOT for the rights to fly 3x weekly from Sofia, Bulgaria to JFK and ORD with the routing SOF-JFK-ORD-SOF. |

More content related to T5 can be found here: http://www.chicagot5.com/ So what it tells us is that T-5 is being renovated into an even bigger mid- and upscale shopping mall. BIG WHOOP. What BS |

Looks like 2013 will be a busy year at ORD. I have been watching the UA 787 this week come in. It already swapped out to a 767 due to technical problems on I think 2 days. Here is the schedule: UA1553 IAHORD 720A 951A 788 UA1510 ORDIAH 1121A 206P 788 |
All times are GMT. The time now is 11:20 PM. |
