Presentation
What's next for O'Hare - the O'Hare 21 development
O’Hare Airport has embarked on a transformational terminal development program - O’Hare 21 - which will be implemented over the next decade. This presentation will provide an update on the overall capital development program, identify and discuss the program initiatives that were applied on the first program milestone - the Terminal 5 expansion - and will be the basis of future development for two new satellite concourses and the O'Hare Global Terminal. Future program initiatives to be addressed include accessible design, climate and security resilience, sustainability, near- and long-term energy transition strategies and socioeconomic inclusion and diversity.
