Also, this image that I shared earlier shows which gates Delta is getting: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8b41b2c2_h.jpg Delta is getting the gates with the orange plane outlines (8-9 gates). |
Delta has put A321's on their old gates many times. They even put a 767-300 on the old gates for several months last year. The 777-200 and A330 cargo flights always went to Delta cargo. That contract has been cancelled. Delta is a non starter and a who cares at Chicago unless they change their business model here.
By the way, Spirit's next move will not be to T5. |

I do know that Delta is building a 22,500 square foot skyclub in Terminal 5, and I think this will go in the purple section: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...31bc0c15_b.jpg And as far as other airlines go, All Oneworld/Star alliance airlines will be in the new Global Terminal, so they probably will have lounges there. Skyteam airlines will operate out of T5, so they will probably have new lounges here. As far as unaffiliated airlines go (like Emirates, Etihad), I don't know if they will operate out of T5 or the Global Terminal. On a side note, Gates M11 (existing) and M20 (part of expansion) will both be A380 capable gates, so I wonder if Korean Air (Skyteam) would use one of them, and if another A380 operator will use the other. Global Terminal will also add some A380 gates so hopefully more airlines consider the A380 here in the future when demand recovers. Some airlines have committed to hold on to them, so I don't think it's completely out of the question. |
Sexy renderings!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Eastern Airlines Launches Transatlantic Flights From Chicago to Sarajevo
America’s Eastern Airlines is launching its first-ever route to Europe this summer. It will inaugurate flights from Chicago to Sarajevo. This will be the first time that Bosnia and Herzegovina will have a direct connection to the United States and the first time Eastern will operate flights out of O’Hare International Airport. Starting on 28th May and ending on 5th September this year, Eastern Airlines will operate a single weekly flight between Chicago and Sarajevo that departs on Fridays and returns on Sundays. The schedule indicates that the same crew will be operating both legs of this rotation. Tickets for this route are already on sale, and the schedule is as follows: - Flight 2D972 will leave Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) at 19:05 on Fridays to arrive at Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ) on Saturdays at 11:05. - Flight 2D973 will leave Sarajevo at 08:00 on Sundays to arrive in Chicago the same day at 12:00 (mid-day). https://simpleflying.com/eastern-air...flight-launch/ |
Eastern is such a weird carrier. Mostly focused on USA-LatAm service, but hey! let's add a route to Sarajevo just for kicks, even though they have no other transatlantic service.

Wait, eastern airlines is still a thing???
I thought they went under decades ago. |
^ That's what I thought too, but apparently their brand assets were purchased by investors to slap onto a different bush-league airline, not once but twice. The Eastern that will serve O'Hare is the third incarnation.
|
I think the Chicago area has a pretty large south Slav population of Croats and Serbians in particular so I guess it isn't too surprising.
For my travel wants, I would think that a destination such as Split Croatia would be a lot more interesting. It seems the Croatian coast has popped up a lot more on travel radars the last few years from what I've heard. |
Game of Thrones effect, beautiful coastline towns and a nice swim in the Adriatic.

As far as Eastern is concerned, I think this is the 3rd US airline to use this name in the last 50 years. The first was ofcourse run into the ground by Mr. Lorenzo when he was also running Continental. You won't hear to much about that on the history of United Airlines on their website :). |

Just happened to see this:
All systems go on I-490, the toll road that could change O'Hare access and suburban driving https://www.dailyherald.com/storyima...&noborder&Q=80 Quote:
I wonder if this is part of the long term plan for way in the future to build the Western Terminal. |
